I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of

Tandoori Chicken Tacos

Look out for some delicious, big flavors in this. The only 2 things you might not have are the tumeric (which btw you could swap for yellow curry powder) and garam masala - but that helps make it so, you might want to get a little.
