Chicken Tikka Chapati Burritos are a flavorful fusion of Indian chicken tikka and Mexican burritos wrapped in soft chapati, with marinated chicken, fresh veggies, tangy yogurt, and mango chutney for a satisfying handheld meal.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, chopped into bite-size chunks

120 ml (½ cup) Greek yogurt or thick natural yogurt (full fat)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-thumb-sized piece ginger, minced

Juice of half a lemon

1 tsp ground coriander

½ tsp turmeric

½ tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp mild chili powder (or hot if you prefer)

1 pinch cinnamon

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp vegetable oil

4 chapatis

4 large romaine lettuce leaves, sliced into strips

170 g (1 cup) cooked basmati rice

4 tbsp Greek or natural yogurt

4 tbsp mango chutney

1 jalapeño chili, thinly sliced

½ red bell pepper, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade: In a bowl or freezer bag, mix chicken with yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, coriander, turmeric, cumin, paprika, chili powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Marinate in the fridge for 2–3 hours.
  2. Thread and cook: Thread chicken onto skewers (soak wooden ones if using). Brush with oil and grill or broil 8–10 minutes, turning, until charred and fully cooked (165°F internal).
  3. Assemble burritos: Warm chapatis. Layer lettuce, rice, chicken, yogurt, mango chutney, jalapeño, and bell pepper. Roll up burrito-style, wrap in foil.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately, or wrap for later use.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2–3 days, or frozen for up to 1 month.

To reheat, wrap burritos in foil and bake at 350°F for 10–15 minutes, or microwave in 1–2 minute bursts.

If you don’t have chapatis, use tortillas, roti, or naan as an alternative.

For a spicier version, add extra chili powder or jalapeño.

This recipe is great for meal prep—marinate chicken ahead of time and assemble burritos when ready to eat.
