## Ingredients List
### For the Butter Chicken:
– 500g boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
– 2 tbsp lemon juice
– 2 tsp garam masala
– 1 tsp red chili powder
– Salt to taste
– 3 tbsp butter
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 1 cup tomato puree
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 tsp kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
– Fresh cilantro for garnish

### For the Tacos:
– 3 small flour or corn tortillas
– 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
– 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/4 cup chopped onions
– 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
– Lime wedges for serving

## Instructions/Steps
### Making the Butter Chicken:
1. **Marinate the Chicken:** In a bowl, combine chicken pieces, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).

2. **Cook the Chicken:** In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

3. **Prepare the Sauce:** In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sauté the chopped onions until golden brown. Stir in the tomato puree and cook for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.

4. **Finish the Sauce:** Add the heavy cream, cooked chicken, and kasuri methi to the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.

### Assembling the Tacos:
5. **Warm the Tortillas:** Heat the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the oven until warm and pliable.

6. **Fill the Tacos:** On each tortilla, layer a spoonful of butter chicken, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, and grated cheese (if using).

7. **Garnish and Serve:** Top with fresh cilantro, serve with lime wedges, and enjoy your Butter Chicken Taco!
