Begin by shredding the leftover chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 2 tablespoons of tikka masala paste and 1 tablespoon of yogurt, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crispy.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the mango salsa by dicing 1 ripe mango, 1/2 red onion, and 1 jalapeño pepper.
In a bowl, mix the diced mango, onion, jalapeño, juice of 1 lime, and a handful of chopped cilantro. Set aside.
For the avocado crema, blend 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup of sour cream, juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Warm 4 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the spicy chicken on each tortilla, top with mango salsa, and drizzle with avocado crema.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
