GRILLED CHEESE TACOS

Salty, smoky grilled halloumi is the star of this tasty, satisfying vegetarian option for the grill.

Categories     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Cheese     Taco     Corn     Avocado     Tortillas     Dinner     Vegetarian     Labor Day

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Olive oil
2 ears of corn, husked
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4"-thick rings
1 pound halloumi or other grilling cheese, sliced into 16 planks (about 1/2"-thick)
8 small corn tortillas
Sliced avocado, fresh tomato salsa, cilantro, and lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; generously oil grates.
  • Lightly brush corn with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss onion with oil in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Grill both, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, 10-15 minutes for corn and 4-5 minutes for onions. Let corn cool slightly. Cut kernels from cobs and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Brush cheese with oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill, turning once, until charred and warmed through, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Warm tortillas in a microwave or on cooler area of grill until soft and pliable. Divide cheese among tortillas, then top with corn, onion, avocado, salsa, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in these tacos, so it's important to use a cheese that melts well and has a lot of flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack. If you want to add some extra spice, you can also use a hot pepper cheese.
  • Don't overstuff the tacos: These tacos are small, so it's important to not overstuff them. Otherwise, they'll be difficult to eat and the cheese will spill out. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup of cheese per taco.
  • Cook the tacos over medium heat: This will help to prevent the cheese from burning. If you cook the tacos over too high heat, the cheese will melt too quickly and become rubbery.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: These tacos are best served hot and fresh. If you let them sit for too long, the cheese will start to harden and the tacos will become less enjoyable.

Conclusion:

Grilled cheese tacos are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. They're also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
