Today’s Fusion Recipe: Spicy Tandoori Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today I’m excited to share a unique recipe that combines the bold flavors of traditional Indian tandoori chicken with the fun and casual vibe of Mexican tacos. The result is a mouthwatering dish that will surely impress your taste buds and your guests. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 600g boneless chicken thighs (cut into strips)
  • 200g Greek yogurt
  • 50g tandoori masala
  • 30ml lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 jalapeño (finely chopped)
  • 1 small red onion (sliced)
  • 30g cilantro (chopped)
  • 8 mini flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • grill pan
  • tongs
  • knife
  • cutting board

Start by marinating the chicken strips in a mixture of Greek yogurt, tandoori masala, lime juice, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeño. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour to absorb all the flavors.

Preheat the grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the marinated chicken strips until cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side. Use the tongs to flip the chicken strips halfway through.

While the chicken is grilling, warm up the mini flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble the tacos by placing a couple of chicken strips on each tortilla, along with some sliced red onion and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the spicy tandoori tacos hot and enjoy the fusion of Indian and Mexican flavors in every bite!
