Keto Halloumi Tacos

This Keto halloumi recipe is packed with flavor and offers a great vegetarian alternative to traditional taco fillings. Our low carb recipe is prepared with crisp lettuce leaf cups, pan-fried halloumi slices, a simple salsa of tomato, cucumber, avocado, and scallions, a tahini, lime, and olive oil dressing and topped with sliced jalapeños to serve.

Can I Use an Alternative Cheese?

We have used halloumi for our Keto taco filling. This dense and flavorsome cheese is a great option to provide a satisfying vegetarian filling and is perfect for pan-frying or grilling. If you would like to use an alternative cheese, you can substitute with queso fresco or paneer. These cheeses both have high melt points and can be pan-fried as you would the halloumi. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any change made to the original recipe.

Serving Suggestions

We have served our halloumi taco fillings in crisp iceberg lettuce cups. These cups serve as a great low carb holder for our Keto-friendly toppings and can also be used to fold around the fillings if desired to create a wrap. You may also serve in baby gem or romaine lettuce leaves. As an alternative option, the fillings can also be served on a bed of cauliflower rice.
