The Chicken Tikka Wrap is a protein-packed, flavorful dish that combines marinated chicken with vibrant vegetables, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch, this wrap marries traditional Indian flavors with a modern American twist.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Tikka masala paste - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Whole wheat tortillas - 2 pieces
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Cucumber - 1 small, sliced

• Fresh cilantro - a handful, chopped
• Lettuce leaves - 4 pieces
• Hot sauce - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, tikka masala paste, lemon juice, cumin powder, and salt to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add it to the marinade, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
4. While the chicken cooks, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion.
5. Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a pan or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
6. To assemble the wraps, place a lettuce leaf on each tortilla, followed by a portion of the cooked chicken, sliced vegetables, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce.
7. Wrap the tortillas tightly around the filling and serve immediately.
