  • 2 jalapeño peppers seeded & de-ribbed
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 medium avocados chunked into 1 inch cubes

Halloumi

  • 16 oz Halloumi
  • 1 tbs high heat oil peanut or safflower

Tacos

  • 4 flour tortillas

Instructions

  • To make the honey roasted tomatoes: Preheat oven to 300°F Combine all ingredients in a non-stick oven pan. Toss. Roast for about 1 hour, tossing 2 or 3 times. Tomatoes should be slightly charred & about half-way dried.
  • To make fava guacamole: Blend first 4 ingredients in a food processor until jalapeños are in small bits. Add remaining ingredients, including fava beans, to processor and pulse until blended but slightly chunky.
  • To prepare halloumi: Cut Halloumi into bite size rectangles, about 1/2 fish-stick size, 1/4 X 1 X 2 inch approx. Coat a non-stick frying pan in the oil. Heat pan, medium high. Add halloumi & fry, turning so each side browns. About 1 or 2 minutes each side. Set aside on a paper towel.

To assemble tacos:

  • Heat whole wheat or flour tortillas in a dry frying pan or over an open flame to slightly toast & warm.
  • Place a lettuce leaf (any type of non-iceberg lettuce) on a tortilla.
  • Put 2 or 3 tbs Pea Guacamole on top, followed by 2 or 3 halloumi slices. Add 4 or 5 roasted tomatoes. Fold over to eat.

Notes

Note: It's fun for guest to assemble their own, and less work for you. Serve with hot sauce for the so inclined.
