These Tandoori Chicken Wraps are so good for lunch or a light dinner. Tandoori-marinated chicken is wrapped up in flatbread with Greek yogurt-cilantro sauce.

Indian flatbread rolled sandwich on white square plate with extra tomatoes on plate.

First of all, you may be thinking “whoa, this blog looks different than last time I was here.” That is accurate. Truth is, I recently celebrated six months of blogging – five to six posts each week.

Of course, I know six months is a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. But I’m only just getting started – I’ll be doing this for a good long time. Still, I celebrated six months by treating myself to some help from a designer and giving my page a bit of a refresh. I hope you like it and find it easy to navigate. But anyway…

Happy Sunday! I’m going to be spending my day doing absolutely nothing, and it’s going to be absolutely amazing. It’s a rare luxury in the summertime to have a weekend day with no plans.

Ok, maybe I won’t do nothing today. But what I will do will likely involve pancakes. And a bike ride. Maybe a leisurely dog walk. And a glass of scotch while watching watching/hyperventilating over Breaking Bad. Seriously, that show. My jaw is perma-clenched just thinking about how it’s all going to turn out.

About these tandoori chicken wraps:

Even though I haven’t yet visited India, my dish today is a sandwich made with tandoori chicken. Is this authentic? Well, my marinade is adapted from a well-loved (by me) Food Network Magazine recipe, so you do the math.

However, I can guarantee you that the chicken is super tender and seasoned in good stuff like fresh ginger, tomato paste, hot paprika and garlic. Wrapped up in a soft flatbread with some cilantro-flecked Greek yogurt and crunchy veggies, this flavor-packed tandoori chicken wrap that brings Indian street food to your home dinner table.
