Ingredients

2 x 225g blocks light halloumi
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion , halved and sliced
2 mixed peppers , sliced
2 garlic cloves , crushed
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground coriander
1 lime , juiced
8 small or 4 large tortilla wraps (use corn or flour)
1 avocado , stoned, peeled and sliced
small handful of coriander leaves
chilli sauce or soured cream, to serve (optional)

Steps:

Split each halloumi block through the middle lengthways (they should have a natural seam). Cut each half into four strips. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and fry the halloumi strips for a few minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan over a high heat, and fry the onion and peppers for 5 mins until just soft and starting to char. Add the garlic, paprika and coriander with some seasoning and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the lime juice and fried halloumi, and stir very gently so the halloumi doesn't break up. Will keep at room temperature for a few hours. Reheat over a low heat with a little water.
Warm the wraps in a low oven wrapped in foil. Alternatively, warm two at a time for 10 seconds in the microwave (not wrapped in foil), or by holding them directly over a gas flame with a pair of tongs (this will give you flavourful charred edges).
Pile the halloumi filling into the warm wraps, with a few slices of avocado each, some coriander leaves, and spoonfuls of chilli sauce or soured cream, if you like.
