2. Blitz the chimichurri
In a mini blender or pestle and mortar, combine coriander, parsley, garlic, vinegar, oil, chilli flakes, and salt until loose and punchy. Add more oil to loosen if needed.
3. Whip up the avocado crema
Blend or mash avocado with yoghurt, lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt until creamy. Chill until ready.
4. Grill the halloumi
Coat the halloumi slices in olive oil, paprika, and cumin. For the best flavour, leave to marinate in the fridge beforehand. Grill on a hot griddle pan or BBQ for 2 minutes each side until charred and golden.
5. Assemble the tacos
Heat 6-8 tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft. Spread coriander chimichurri on each tortilla. spoon over the blackened corn salsa, add grilled halloumi strips, and drizzle with avocado crema.
