Instructions: 

  • Into a bowl add chicken, paprika, garam masala, curry spice, turmeric, salt, garlic, ginger, and greek yogurt. Mix together and set in the fridge.
  • Place a large skillet over medium high heat and drop in 1 tbs of butter and 1 tbs of olive oil. Once the butter is melted add in the diced onions, minced garlic, ginger and saute for 2 minutes. Next up add in the spices, canned diced tomatoes, cashews, and greek yogurt. Allow the mixture to saute for about  5 minutes and then pour into a blender.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Using the same pan, pour in the chicken mixture and saute until cooked through. Once chicken is cooked through (10-15min), pour in the butter chicken sauce making sure to fully cover.
  • Lay the tortilla on the counter and then scoop on the cooked basmati rice into the center. Top with the butter chicken and then fold like a burrito. I like to place the burrito into a hot pan with a bit of oil and sear until golden brown.
  • If you are making the burritos in advance, allow them to fully cool and then wrap in plastic wrap.
