Chicken Vindaloo Tacos

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-
