I’m not sure I can find a meal that can’t be improved with the addition of squeaky cheese. Who’s with me?!

These Halloumi Fajitas take the favourite Greek cheese and add some spice, veggies and the usual sides.

FAQs about the Halloumi Fajitas

How do you get those nice looking lines on the cheese?!

You can get these griddle lines by cooking the cheese using a griddle pan, or cooking on the barbecue.

OR! My favourite cheat is to use a crinkle cutter (affiliate link) to cut the cheese, and then frying in a regular frying pan!

Crinkle Cutter

What spice mix or seasoning should I use for these Halloumi Fajitas?

I used a good quality Cajun spice blend, but you could use any kind of Mexican/Taco/Fajita mix.

It’s always worth making sure it’s a fresh pack though as they lose their flavour after being open for a couple of months.

Halloumi Fajitas

These Halloumi Fajitas are so quick, tasty and colourful! Have dinner on the table in 15 minutes.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 People

Ingredients 

  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • 2 Onions, Peeled and cut into wedges (optional)
  • 4 Bell peppers, See Note 1
  • 4 tsp Cajun spice mix, See Note 2
  • 500 g Halloumi Cheese, Sliced.
  • 2 tsp Runny honey

To serve

  • 8 Tortilla wraps, See Note 3
  • Sour cream or greek yoghurt, (Optional)
  • Lime wedges
  • Salsa, See Note 4

Instructions 

  • Heat your olive oil in a frying pan until very hot.
  • Add the peppers and HALF of the spice mix and cook until just starting to blacken at the edges. Remove from the pan and set to one side.
  • Lay the halloumi into the empty, hot pan, sprinkle over the remaining spice mix and cook on both sides for a couple of minutes until browned.
  • Drizzle the honey over just before removing from the pan.
  • Serve on a platter with the peppers, wraps, yoghurt, lime wedges and avocado (plus salsa if using).

Notes

Onions
I have left these as optional as I know lots of children take offence at them! I do tend to include them if I can as they add flavour and extra vegetables.
Bell Peppers
Use whichever colours you prefer. I like a mix of red and yellow. Just deseed and slice into thin strips.
Cajun Spice Mix
Use whichever brand you have/like. Be sure that the pack hasn't been hanging around for years as it does lose it's flavour! You can use a Mexican/Taco/Fajita spice mix if you prefer.
Tortilla Wraps
I like to toast these under the grill or directly on the gas hob before serving to give them a little texture and colour. This is optional.
Salsa
I made a little salsa to serve, just using:
  • Tomatoes
  • Red Onion
  • Lime Juice
  • Mint
You could obviously use shop bought if you prefer or leave out all together.
