Ingredients
Scale
- 450g (1 lb) chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon tikka masala paste
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
Cilantro Lime Yogurt Sauce:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro (coriander), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cucumber Salsa:
- 1 cup finely chopped cucumber
- ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro (coriander), finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, yogurt, and tikka masala paste. Toss well to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes to 24 hours—any marinating time in between works great.
- Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Add all the cilantro lime sauce ingredients to a mini blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- In a bowl, toss the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Warm the tortillas over a griddle pan or gas flame until slightly charred (if desired). Layer the salsa and cooked chicken onto each tortilla, drizzle with the cilantro lime sauce, and enjoy!
