Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g Chicken Thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup Plain Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Paste
  • 2 tablespoons Tandoori Masala
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 small Corn Tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small Red Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Avocado, diced
  • Handful of Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small Jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
  • Lime Wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, garlic paste, ginger paste, tandoori masala, and salt. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and cook chicken until charred and fully cooked, about 6–7 minutes per side. Rest and slice.
  4. Toast tortillas in the oven until golden and crisp, about 8–10 minutes.
  5. Spread a bit of yogurt or sour cream on each tortilla.
  6. Layer with chicken, tomatoes, onion, avocado, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  7. Drizzle with more yogurt or sour cream and finish with a squeeze of lime.
  8. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.

Notes

  • Let the chicken rest before slicing for maximum juiciness.
  • Chill toppings before assembly for a refreshing bite.
  • Don’t overload the tostada to keep it crispy.
  • Add a sprinkle of chaat masala for extra zing.
