Tacos are always a winner and you can literally fill them with anything from fish and mince to pulled pork and yummy butter chicken.
The crunchy shells of tacos can sometimes leave you feeling a little peckish one or two hours after dinner, but by substituting the crunchy shells with naan tortillas, they should keep you sated for longer.
Another reason why we love these delicious butter chicken naan tacos is because they only take 30 minutes to prepare, leaving you with plenty of time to put your feet up, enjoy a glass of wine and catch up on your Netflix binge-watching.
