How to make Chicken Tikka Taco Recipe - This wonderful taco is based on an Indian dish popularized in the UK and is sure to surprise anyone with its awesome flavor in this unexpected form. You can make your own tikka masala sauce, but this is one of the rare times I recommend purchasing a pre-made sauce to save a lot of time and effort.
Makes 6 tacos
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 Tablespoon curry powder (yellow)
½ Tablespoon butter
1 cup tikka masala sauce
⅓ cup heavy cream
1-2 whole pieces of lettuce per taco
2 large plum tomatoes, sliced long
Cracked black pepper for garnish
Tortillas
Method:
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken pieces, sprinkle with curry, and lightly brown chicken, about 5-6 minutes, stirring almost constantly for even browning.
Meanwhile, in a small pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add tikka masala sauce and heavy cream, mix, and heat until mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat immediately and add to chicken. Cover and cook 20 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, remove chicken to a plate and cut into very small pieces (each bite-size piece should be reduced to about three smaller pieces). Reserve sauce.
Top a tortilla with lettuce. Add chicken, some tomato slices, and about a Tablespoon of the leftover sauce. Garnish with cracked black pepper.
*Any remaining sauce goes great over simple white rice, which is a perfect side for this taco!
