Ingredients
- Halloumi cheese400 g
- Fresh watermelon, cubed500 g
- Small corn tortillas12 pcs
- Fresh cilantro1 bunch
- Limes2 pcs
- Red chili, finely chopped1 pc
- Honey1 tbsp
- Greek yogurt150 g
- Pickled red onions100 g
Instructions
In a bowl, toss the watermelon cubes with honey, half of the chopped chili, and a squeeze of lime juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
Slice the halloumi into 1cm thick strips. Grill over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown grill marks appear and the cheese is soft.
Add the marinated watermelon cubes to a very hot grill pan for just 60 seconds. You want a quick sear to get smoky marks while keeping the center cool and crisp.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds until they are pliable and slightly charred.
Layer the grilled halloumi and charred watermelon into the tortillas. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, pickled red onions, fresh cilantro, and the remaining chili. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
