Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup plain yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons tikka masala spice blend

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1 teaspoon salt

10 small tortilla wraps (flour or whole wheat)

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 cup tomato, diced

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

1/2 cup mint yogurt sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, tikka masala spice blend, minced garlic, minced ginger, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and thread the marinated pieces onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand). Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until it is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Alternatively, you can sauté the chicken directly in the skillet for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

      Prepare the Tortilla Bases: While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry pan for about 30 seconds on each side to make them more pliable.

        Assemble the Sliders: On each tortilla, place a spoonful of cooked chicken in the center. Top with diced cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Drizzle with mint yogurt sauce and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.

          Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly from one end to the other to create a slider. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the sliders warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick. Enjoy your delicious and colorful Mini Chicken Tikka Tortilla Sliders!
