    I feel like I haven’t seen much Indian-Mexican fusion at all. These look fantastic!

    Here’s the recipe.

    Fair warning, this my first attempt at writing down a recipe so, measurements are guesstimated. Adjust to your liking.

    I use a Sous vide so I can cook multiple pieces of chicken at once. Use it for salads, sandwiches, etc throughout the week. These tacos just kinda evolved from there.

    Enjoy. If you do it better than me, please feel free to brag.
