Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into strips
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp tandoori masala
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas or flatbreads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup diced cucumber
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- For yogurt-mint sauce:
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mint, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ¼ tsp cumin powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper.
- Add chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2-4 hours.
- Prepare the yogurt-mint sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon oil.
- Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned with charred edges and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces if desired.
- Warm the tortillas or flatbreads in a dry pan over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side until pliable.
- Assemble each wrap by spreading yogurt-mint sauce down the center of each flatbread.
- Layer with lettuce, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and the cooked tandoori chicken.
- Fold the bottom edge up, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to secure the filling.
- Serve immediately, cutting in half diagonally if desired.
Notes
- For an authentic touch, substitute naan bread or roti for the tortillas.
- Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor development.
