Method
- Add the mayonnaise, smoked paprika, oregano, chilli flakes and cider vinegar to a small bowl. Add the olive oil, 1tbsp water and a pinch of salt. Give it a good mix – this is your peri-peri mayo.
- Drain the sweetcorn. Slice the spring onion finely. Cut the lime in half and cut one half into two wedges.
- Add the drained sweetcorn and chopped spring onion to a bowl. Add the juice of the lime half (save the wedges for later) and a pinch of salt and give it a good mix – this is your sweetcorn salsa.
- Cut the avocado in half lengthways, around the stone. Remove the stone using a teaspoon. Scoop the avocado out of the skin using a spoon and slice it finely, lengthways.
- Cut the halloumi into 12 slices. Heat a large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi slices. Cook for one to two minutes on each side or until golden.
- Put the seeded tortillas on a plate. Put the plate in the microwave and cook for one to two minutes, or until warmed through.
- Add the golden halloumi to the warmed tortillas. Top with the sweetcorn salsa and sliced avocado. Drizzle over the peri-peri mayo and serve with lime wedges on the side.
