Let’s make it.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Mix yogurt and lime juice. Toss chicken with cumin, paprika and salt.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Heat oil in a pan. Cook chicken for 8–10 minutes, turning regularly, until its thickest pieces reach 74°C / 165°F. Extend cooking if needed.

    Step 3

    Warm tortillas following the packet. Divide chicken and cabbage among them and drizzle with yogurt sauce.

Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • Keep raw-chicken utensils separate from the cabbage and sauce; use clean utensils for serving.

Keeping the leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow covered containers within 2 hours. Use within 3 days and reheat until steaming hot throughout; reheated leftovers should reach 74°C / 165°F.
