Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
  2. Add 1 Onion, 2 Red bell pepper, 1 Green bell pepper and strips of 250 g Halloumi to a large baking dish. Add 2 tablespoon Olive oil and 4 tablespoon Fajita seasoning. Mix well so that everything is coated.
  3. Put into the oven for 25 minutes. You will end up with delicious baked halloumi.
  4. Serve on 4 Soft tortillas with Refried beans, Salsa, Guacamole and Tortilla chips.

Notes

  • If you want the halloumi to be softer and a little more moist, then cook it for just 20 minutes. We cooked it for 25 minutes to get it a little more crispy, but that's a preference thing.
  • If you want the halloumi to be really crispy, then sear it in a skillet first and then add with the rest of the ingredients and bake.
  • Check these every 10 minutes with cooking, as depending on your oven they may cook a little quicker and you don't want dry halloumi.
  • If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in the oven. Put them in a baking dish and cover with foil - they will take about 10 minutes to reheat.
  • If you are going to reheat these, then cook them for a shorter time, as crispy halloumi doesn't reheat very well.
  • Feel free to change the vegetables you use. Mushrooms and courgette also work well.
  • You can save some calories with this recipe by using reduced fat halloumi.
  • Cook the halloumi on a griddle pan if you want to get the nice lines across it.
  • Add some black beans for even more of a protein boost.
