Halloumi Fajitas Recipe

These Halloumi Fajitas are so quick, tasty and colourful! Have dinner on the table in 15 minutes.

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.  

Creating a vegetarian fajitas recipe that the whole family will love putting together.

You’ll love this Halloumi Fajitas recipe because: 

✅ Ready in 15 minutes.
✅ Light and colourful for warm days.
✅ Fun for the whole family to make their own wraps.

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 to cut the cheese, and then frying in a regular frying pan! (You can watch me do this on the Instagram Stories below.)

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.

Fancy some other recipes in wraps?

• Salmon Tacos – So quick and delicious. This sauce is GOOOOOD.
• Easy Baked Chicken Fajitas  – All baked in one pan.
• Beef Enchiladas – Rolled and then smothered in cheese 😍

Ingredients

• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 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

Instructions

• Heat your olive oil in a frying pan until very hot.

• 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

Note 1 - Bell Peppers

Use whichever colours you prefer. I like a mix of red and yellow. Just deseed and slice into thin strips.

Note 2 - 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.

Note 3 - 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.

Note 4 - 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.
