Ingredients

• For the salsa & sauce
• 8 ounces finely chopped pineapple (most of one can)
• 2/3 cup finely chopped tomatoes I used about 5 ounces cherry tomatoes
• a few slices of finely chopped red onion
• 1 red chili optional
• 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro/coriander
• 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt or sour cream if you prefer
• 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• The rest of the ingredients
• small tortillas of your choice
• 1 avocado sliced
• 1 ‘log’ of halloumi cheese sliced into about 1-cm-thick slices.
• a little olive oil for brushing
• 1 lime optional

Instructions

1.       First, mix all of the salsa ingredients together and set aside. Also mix the Greek yoghurt and sweet chili sauce together and set aside.

2.       Slice the halloumi into roughly 1cm-thick slices, brush the slices lightly on each side with a little olive oil, then heat up a frying pan and fry the halloumi for a few minutes on each side until golden and a little crispy. Keep the slices warm.

3.       Prepare your tortillas to your liking (I heated them in a dry pan until warm and slightly crisp), then assemble your tacos. Start with a layer of avocado slices, then top with the halloumi slices, salsa and Greek yoghurt/sour cream sauce. If you like, squeeze a little lime juice over everything before folding up. Enjoy immediately
