I’m not sure I can find a meal that can’t be improved with the addition of squeaky cheese. Who’s with me?! For these Halloumi Fajitas, we take our favourite Greek/Cypriot cheese and add some spice, veggies and the usual sides. It really is super simple.

⭐️ Ready in 15 minutes ⭐️ Light and colourful for warm days ⭐️ Fun for the whole family to make their own wraps I wanted to make sure that our latest fajita recipe could also be made as a super quick and fuss-free midweek meal. BONUS, turns out we can whip it up in about 15 minutes all in one pan! You can’t argue with that.
Halloumi Fajitas Ingredients Notes
Halloumi – You’ll need 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
In the freezer This isn’t the most ideal cheese for freezing once it’s been cooked, so while I would rather freeze than throw away, but it wouldn’t be my first choice for batch cooking. It will have a slightly solid texture after being frozen and reheated, so bear this in mind. You can get those nice looking 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 like this one to cut the cheese, and then frying in a regular frying pan! This is SO easy to do and the results are much fresher, tastier and healthier than a shop-bought one. If you decide to make it yourself, simply chop up tomatoes, red onion and mint, mix it in a small bowl, then squeeze lime juice into it to taste. Delicious.
