    Prepare and marinate the chicken: Cut chicken breast into thin strips or small cubes. In a bowl, combine the chicken with plain yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all chicken pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer for more intense flavor.

    Marinating the chicken for 30 minutes to an hour (or even overnight in the refrigerator) will result in more tender and flavorful chicken. If short on time, even a 15-minute marinade makes a difference.

    Cook the chicken filling: Heat cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through, tender, and slightly browned on the edges, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Break up any large pieces with your spoon.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can steam the chicken instead of browning it. If you have a large batch, cook the chicken in two smaller batches.

    Prepare toppings and warm tortillas: While the chicken is cooking, prepare all your desired toppings. Shred the lettuce, grate the cheese, and chop the fresh cilantro. Warm the flour tortillas using your preferred method (a dry pan over medium heat for 15-20 seconds per side, a microwave, or wrapped in foil in the oven) until they are soft and pliable.

    Keep the warmed tortillas wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or foil to maintain their warmth and softness until you are ready to assemble the tacos.

    Assemble the tacos: To assemble, place a warm tortilla on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the cooked chicken filling into the center of the tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of sour cream (if using), and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Fold or roll up the taco and serve immediately.
