Rosemary Chicken Tacos with Homemade Whole Wheat Rotis.
It’s been quiet a while since I last posted, and the reason is simple. The last month or so has been extremely hectic. From changing apartments to presentations to final exams in my MBA class it has been an absolute whirlwind of activity. Now that the dust has finally settled its time to get back to what I love i.e. COOK. I am going to continue from where I left off which is Mexican food. So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you these delectable “Rosemary Chicken Tacos with Homemade Whole Wheat Rotis.”.
Finals = Vacation (wink)
It was a team presentation and I am proud to say that my team followed the mantra of great minds think alike. That is to say we didn’t worry about the presentation till the last minute (CHUCKLES!!!!). After getting past the talk I decided it was time to pamper myself a bit. That meant putting my feet up and relaxing on the white sandy beaches of Destin, Florida. Wifey and I were doubly happy because our vacation was nicely complimented by the delectable seafood that we got to taste.
Ahh I think I have digressed a little too much. I apologize profusely and will get back to doing what y’all want me to do which is to make good food. The inspiration for this recipe was pretty much a spur of the moment thing. One thing led to another and the next thing you know wifey and I are wolfing down delicious rosemary flavored tacos.
How to make Rosemary Chicken
I saw rosemary in my spice rack and decided to make this the star of my dish. So I whipped up a quick marinade of rosemary along with a little garlic-green chili paste along with vinegar, onion salt and cumin powder, added it to the chicken and left it overnight in the fridge. Then I simply sautéed it on the skillet till it was perfectly golden brown. Instead of spending time on making the tortillas I simply asked the roti master aka wifey dear to whip up rotis in about 20 mins and I had the perfect substitute to use.. AINT that easy-peasy.
What did I top my tacos with?
The secret to making tacos is simplicity. I like to keep it simple, so I added rosemary chicken, boiled red beans, corn, avocado, coriander.
Within no time my Rosemary Chicken Tacos were ready. Ohh how I wish everything in life was so simple..

Thanks for sharing this awesome tips and tricks to make soft roti at home Rahul. Its marvelous. It’s amazing. I have been making chapati’s for last 15 years and my chapati’s were always hard. I have tried various types of aata and methods to make the chapati. But nothing helped. Chapati is staple at our house.
I followed your steps once and they were soft, I thought it was just a luck. But I have been following yours steps and they are soft every single time.
Hey Gayatri I am happy to lend a helping hand to making your chapatis better.. No matter what happens we have to have fresh chapatis everyday in our house as well..
Rahul, I have to say, I’ve never even considered rosemary in a taco recipe! strange, because my yard has at least 5 (!) Rosemary bushes! anyway, what a lovely idea! Definitely on my list of new things to try!
Thanks Laura…
Beautiful, easy, and delicious! Thanks for sharing another winner 🙂

Congratulations on the apartment, and the finals, and these wonderful tacos!
