Ingredients (serves 4):
For the Tandoori Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons tandoori masala
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon coriander
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Cucumber Raita:
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled and grated
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, tandoori masala, paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and vegetable oil. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
3. While the chicken is cooking, make the cucumber raita. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, grated cucumber, mint, and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
4. To assemble the wraps, warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a griddle. Place a chicken breast on each tortilla and top with sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of cucumber raita. Squeeze a lime wedge over each wrap. Roll up tightly and serve.
