Directions

Step 1

Marinate the Chicken :

In a bowl, combine:
✔️ 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
✔️ 1/4 cup tandoori masala
✔️ 2 tbsp plain yogurt
✔️ 1 tbsp lemon juice
✔️ 1 tsp ground cumin
✔️ 1/2 tsp turmeric
✔️ 1/2 tsp chili powder
✔️ Salt & pepper to taste
✔️ 2 tbsp olive oil
Coat the chicken evenly with the marinade and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the fridge.

Step 2

Cook the Chicken:

Warm up a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it’s fully cooked and the internal temperature hits 165°F (75°C).
Once done, let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 3

Make the Yogurt Mint Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix together:

- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste

Stir everything together until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Put the Wraps Together:

Warm up 4 tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds, just to make them soft and easy to roll.
Spread a spoonful of your yogurt mint sauce on the center of each tortilla.
Layer the sliced tandoori chicken over the sauce, then add fresh veggies like lettuce, cucumber, and tomato for a nice crunch.
Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly to secure everything inside.

Step 5

Serve & Enjoy! Serve with extra yogurt mint sauce on the side and enjoy your flavorful wrap!.

Pro Tips for the Best Wrap

✔️ Add heat – Spice it up with a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes if you like it extra spicy.

Creative Variations

🌶️ Spicy Tandoori – Add a chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper to the marinade for extra heat.
🥑 Creamy Avocado – Add avocado slices inside the wrap for a creamy texture.
