Ingredients

For the green salsa:

1 green pepper deseeded and sliced into four
2 large green tomatoes
2 echalion shallots peeled and roughly chopped
1/2 bunch of coriander
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 limes
Salt and pepper to taste

For the tacos:

225 g halloumi sliced thickly
4 echalion shallots peeled and sliced in half
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small tortillas

For the guacamole:

2 ripe avocados
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

To make the salsa, add all of the ingredients (reserving some of the chopped echalion shallots to garnish) to a food processor and pulse to a chunky salsa.
Toss the halloumi slices and shallots with the olive oil, cumin, paprika and seasoning. Heat a griddle pan on a medium high heat and cook the halloumi and shallots until charred and cooked through.
While they are cooking, make the guacamole. Slice and destone the avocados. Add to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and roughly mash with a fork.
Warm the tortillas through in a dry frying pan.
To assemble the tacos, spread each tortilla with a tablespoon of guacamole. Add a few halloumi slices and an echalion half. Top with a generous spoon of the green salsa, and some finely chopped echalion.
