Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Cut sweet potato into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, half the Southwest Spice Blend (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Spread out in a single layer.
-
Roast on top rack until golden brown, 20-25 minutes, tossing three-quarters of the way through.
-
Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim and thinly slice radishes into rounds. Slice grilling cheese lengthwise into 6 pieces (12 pieces for 4 servings); pat dry with paper towels.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
-
Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.
-
While onion cooks, in a second small microwave-safe bowl, combine radishes, vinegar, 2 TBSP water, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (4 TBSP water and 2 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30-60 seconds.
-
Carefully remove and discard plastic wrap. Set radishes aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for onion over medium-high heat. Add grilling cheese and cook until browned, 1-2 minutes per side.
-
Transfer to a plate.
-
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, oregano, half the garlic powder, and 1 TBSP radish pickling liquid (all the garlic powder and 2 TBSP radish pickling liquid for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.
-
Add coleslaw mix and pickled radishes (draining first); toss until coated.
-
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 30 seconds.
-
Divide tortillas between plates. Top with sweet potato, grilling cheese, caramelized onion, and slaw. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The sweet potato and halloumi combination earned genuine praise, with the caramelized onion and tangy slaw rounding out a unique flavor profile 🎉.
- Ease of prep: The recipe uses quite a few dishes and steps, but most found it manageable; caramelizing the onions takes longer than 8–10 minutes, so plan accordingly.
- Suggestions: Add a sauce or crema — multiple reviewers felt the tacos were dry and needed something extra; a spicy ranch, chimichurri, or sour cream lime crema were popular ideas. Consider halving the oregano in the slaw, as several found the full amount overpowering.
- Leftovers: One reviewer said the tacos tasted even better the next day, making them a solid on-the-go lunch option.
- Halloumi: The grilling cheese browns best in a hot, dry pan — watch it closely, as it can go from golden to stuck quickly; some found it rubbery when undercooked.
