Ingredients

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

To serve

8 Tortilla wraps See notes
Sour cream or Greek yoghurt (Optional)
Lime wedges
Salsa See notes

Instructions

Heat your olive oil in a frying pan until very hot.
Add the peppers and onions 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

Halloumi: You’ll need about 2 packs for 4 people. You can slice up a block or buy it pre-sliced. If you’d prefer it to be softer rather than squeaky, try soaking it in boiling water for 10 mins before frying!

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 its 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 though

To serve: It’s up to you but I like to add sour cream or Greek yoghurt, lime wedges and my own salsa (tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, mint). Alternatively you could use a shop bought one
