Chicken Vindaloo Tacos

Easy, one pan, mouth watering, figure friendly, Indo Mexican fusion recipe!

Vindaloo is a spicy meat dish from Goa that is very popular in Indian restaurants, especially in the United States. The story behind this dish goes something like this- The Portuguese introduced the tangy Vindahlo, a recipe to preserve pork on the ships, using wine (Vino) and garlic (alhos). It was Indianized by Goan cooks, using vinegar instead of the wine and adding red chilies. So the vindaloo we know today has a spicy, tangy, delectable sauce.

I used a readymade vindaloo paste, which made this a breeze to make. I marinated the chicken with the vindaloo paste, turmeric, lime juice and salt and let it marinate in the refrigerator.

I love to cook in my cast iron pan.  I feel that the flavor deepens in these amazing pans. Don’t you? Plus it gives the ‘sizzle’ effect that sizzlers and fajitas have.

These tacos are truly scrumptious! I took pictures for the blog post here just before we sat down to eat. A couple of minutes later, I realized that I should have taken a picture of the folded taco, I looked around and we had licked our plates and the pan clean 🙂

They are so easy to put together and so addictive, that I will be making them again and again.

So here is my easy recipe-

Enjoy the super yummy Chicken Vindaloo Tacos this weekend! I am going to take my tacos to Fiesta Friday, hosted by the gracious Angie and her lovely co-hosts  Judi @ cookingwithauntjuju and Cynthia @ eatmunchlove
