Ingredients
- 8 oz Halloumi cheese
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 head Butterhead lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Slice the Halloumi cheese into four even slices.
Step 2
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Step 3
Grill the Halloumi slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown with grill marks. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash with a fork until smooth.
Step 5
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.
Step 6
Separate large, intact leaves from the butterhead lettuce to use as wraps. Wash and dry the leaves thoroughly.
Step 7
Place a large lettuce leaf on a clean surface. Spread a tablespoon of mashed avocado onto the leaf.
Step 8
Layer a slice of grilled Halloumi onto the avocado, followed by slices of tomato and red onion.
Step 9
Repeat the layering with another grilled Halloumi slice. Top with another lettuce leaf and gently press to hold the ingredients together.
Step 10
Repeat the process for the second serving.
Step 11
Secure the burger stacks with toothpicks if needed, and serve immediately.
