Ever fancied some chicken tikka round lunch time but figured it takes too long, it's messy and not the most practical thing to eat, so you grabbed an ordinary sandwich instead? Well I have a solution.. Presenting Chicken Tikka Tacos! (This is beginning to sound like an ad isn't it?) Well it's not supposed to....! It's just a really simple recipe that tastes so good and fresh so I had to share it.
Note: The chicken can be pre marinated a couple days before and kept in the fridge until you want to use it. Check it out..
