Sweet Potato Tacos with Halloumi (Sheet Pan Recipe!)
These sweet potato tacos bring crispy roasted halloumi and sweet potatoes together in sheet pan tacos with creamy lime sauce and fresh toppings. Everything cooks on a single pan for easy cleanup.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato diced
- 8 oz halloumi sliced
- 4 tbsp canola oil
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cayenne
- salt
For Sauce
- ⅓ cup greek yogurt or sour cream
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- zest and juice of 1 lime
To Serve
- flour tortillas
- sliced avocado
- thinly sliced red onion
Instructions
- Toss sweet potato and halloumi with canola oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, and a generous pinch of salt.
- Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping halloumi and sweet potato separated.
- Roast at 425ºF until sweet potatoes are tender and charred in spots, flipping once or twice, about 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, and salt to make the sauce.
To Serve
- Warm tortillas (see notes) and top with roasted sweet potato, halloumi, avocado, red onion, and a spoonful of sauce.
Notes
Halloumi: This cheese is firm, brined, and doesn’t melt—it crisps up beautifully when roasted.
Sweet Potato: Dice into small, even cubes for faster, even cooking.
Lime Crema: Make it ahead—it keeps well in the fridge for 3 days.
Tortillas: Warm them on a skillet or directly over a flame for best texture. Alternatively, wrap them in damp paper towel and heat in 20 second bursts in the microwave.
Substitutions: Try paneer, tofu, chicken, fish, or black beans instead of halloumi—just season with salt, as halloumi is naturally salty.
Storage: Store leftover fillings in separate containers and reheat in the oven or skillet for best texture.
