Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 2cm chunks. Place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.

Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).

Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

2

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins. Add the sugar (see pantry for amount) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.

Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

3

Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the sweetcorn and cook until charred, 5-6 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary. Stir only twice during this time - you want the sweetcorn to pick up some nice colour.

Once charred transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

4

Remove the halloumi cubes from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.

Give the now empty frying pan a quick clean, then return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the halloumi and fry, turning frequently, until golden, 6-7 mins.

Add the Central American style spice mix for the last min of frying.

5

Meanwhile, pop the tortillas (3 per person) into the oven to warm through, 1-2 mins.

6

Spread the mayo (see pantry for amount) down the centre of each taco. Top with the baby leaves, halloumi chunks, caramelised onion, charred corn and tomato.

Serve the chips alongside.

Enjoy!
