Looking for a delicious way to use leftover chicken? This Tandoori Chicken Burrito recipe is a fantastic choice for a quick and easy snack packed with bold Indian flavors. Ready in just a few minutes, this fusion burrito combines juicy tandoori-spiced chicken with fresh veggies and warm rice for a satisfying meal wrapped in a soft tortilla.
To begin, create a rich marinade by mixing yogurt with ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, and lemon juice. Coat boneless chicken pieces thoroughly in this mixture and allow them to rest in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours so the spices can deeply infuse the meat.
Next, preheat your oven to 180°C. Skewer the marinated chicken pieces and grill them until they are beautifully charred and fully cooked—this should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the chicken is ready, warm your tortilla wraps. Place a spoonful of cooked rice in the center of each wrap, then layer with grilled tandoori chicken, fresh sliced onions and tomatoes, chopped lettuce, coriander leaves, and optional tandoori sauce for an extra flavor punch.
Fold the tortilla snugly into a burrito shape and enjoy your homemade tandoori chicken burrito, perfect for lunchboxes, quick dinners, or an on-the-go snack.
