Ingredient Notes

• Chicken breast (1 pound): Use boneless, skinless chicken for the best texture. Substitute with tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Tikka marinade (2 tablespoons): Store-bought or homemade; just ensure it’s a thick paste to adhere well to the chicken.
• Tortilla wraps (1/2 cup): Use whole wheat or gluten-free wraps based on dietary needs. Adjust size to fit your preference.
• Fresh cilantro (1 cup): Chopped for garnish; you can use parsley if cilantro is unavailable.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil, and cook the chicken until fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  3. Lay out the tortilla wraps and fill each with sliced chicken, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Roll tightly and serve warm.

Things I’ve Learned

To avoid dry chicken, ensure you marinate it long enough. If using leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving. You can also prepare the chicken ahead of time and assemble the rolls just before dinner for added convenience.
