Ever-ready halloumi burritos
My family loves Ever-ready halloumi burritos and these can be made in advance and frozen. Filled with rice, onion and lots of cheese, they are great for an on-the-go meal if you know you don’t have tons of time.

Method for Ever-ready halloumi burritos
-
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the garlic, onion and salt until soft.
-
Add the halloumi and fry until golden. Then add the lime juice and chilli sauce and cook until there is no liquid left.
-
Sprinkle in the paprika and cumin and cook for just a few minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and leave to cool completely.
-
Warm the tortilla wraps slightly, this helps to prevent them from cracking when you roll them up.
-
Layer each tortilla with rice, halloumi, pickled onion, grated cheddar and spring onion.
-
Roll each tortilla up tight, wrap in kitchen foil and freeze.
-
To cook from frozen, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the burritos on the baking tray and cook in the foil for 25–30 minutes, until piping hot in the middle Serve immediately.
