Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups store-bought tzatziki
• 3 tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus leaves for garnish
• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/4 tsp ground coriander
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 lb. chicken breasts
• 15 oz. jar tikka masala sauce
• 4 large (7-inch) tortillas
• 1/4 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
• 1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped, for garnish

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the tzatziki, chopped cilantro, cardamom and coriander. Add 1 to 2 tbsp. water if needed to loosen the sauce; season with salt and pepper.

2. In a medium deep skillet with a lid, heat the oil over medium-high. Season the chicken and add to the skillet. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Pour the tikka masala sauce over the chicken. Bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, 2o to 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; using 2 forks, shred into bite-size pieces. Return the chicken to the sauce to keep warm.

3. In a skillet over high heat or over a gas flame on the stove-top, using tongs, char the tortillas, turning often, about 15 seconds per side.

4. Divide the chicken among the tortillas. Top with the tzatziki sauce, cucumber and onion. Garnish with cilantro leaves and jalapeno.
