Halloumi grilling cheese gets a bold coating of our Mexican Spice Blend before it’s seared until golden and caramelized on the outside but melty within. The crispy-edged cheese is tucked into warm tortillas with creamy cilantro-lime slaw, fresh tomato salsa, and crushed-up tortilla chips. Each bite delivers melty cheese, cool crunch, and bright citrus notes.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Slice grilling cheese into ¼-inch-thick pieces (we got 12 slices; 24 slices for 4 servings). Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Crush tortilla chips in their bag.

  • Place half the Mexican Spice Blend (all for 4 servings) on a plate. Add grilling cheese and turn to coat in spice blend, pressing to adhere.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add coated cheese in a single layer; cook until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. TIP: Work in batches if necessary, adding another drizzle of oil between batches.

  • Transfer to a plate.

 

Make Slaw
3
  • In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, sour cream, half the cilantro, ½ tsp sugar, ¼ tsp salt, and a squeeze of lime juice (1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and a big squeeze of lime juice for 4 servings).

  • Set aside until ready to serve.

Finish & Serve
4
  • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30-60 seconds.

  • Divide tortillas between plates. Top with grilling cheeseslaw, tomato, crushed tortilla chips, remaining cilantro, and as much salsa as you like. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
