These Chicken Tikka Masala Tacos are a fun way to switch up taco night with crispy chicken coated in a rich, flavorful tikka masala sauce. I like piling them into warm flour tortillas with plenty of fresh lettuce, crunchy red cabbage, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to balance out the richness of the chicken. They’re colorful, full of different textures, and easy enough to put together for a quick weeknight dinner.
