Thai Chicken Tacos with Peanut Sauce

Yum

August 26, 2016 by Jodi | 4 Comments

Packed with flavor, simple to make and unbelievably delicious these Thai Chicken Tacos with Peanut Sauce definitely need to be part of your Taco Tuesday (or any day of the week)!Thais Chicken Tacos with Peanut Sauce

We’ve got two full days of school under our belt and I’m happy to announce that Parker has survived. He still insists that school is dumb and he shouldn’t have to go, but I’m guessing a lot of 12-year boys feel the same way. 

Tacos are a huge favorite at our house. I think I’ve mentioned before that Parker would eat at Taco Bell several times a week if he could and he is always wanting me to make tacos for dinner. I love them too because they’re simple, fast, so good and the options are endless.Thai Chicken Tacos with Peanut SauceThese Thai Chicken Tacos I made the other night were AH-MAZING you guys. I made them two nights in a row they were so good.  The peanut sauce is what makes them so killer. Braydon, who is my pickiest eater, absolutely loved them and kept adding more peanut sauce to his. Oh, and the honey roasted peanuts are a must! The recipe called for unsalted peanuts, but honey roasted are definitely the way to go here, I pinky promise!Thai Chicken Tacos with Peanut Sauce

If you have the mindset that tacos are only meant to have Mexican flavors, you need to branch out and try these tacos, you absolutely won’t be sorry. Tacos Tuesdays just got even better!

Description

The peanut sauce is truly what takes these tacos to the next level. Don’t be afraid of the sriracha in the sauce. It just gives it a slight, slight kick. nothing too hot. Also, the honey roasted peanuts are soo good on these tacos. It might seem weird, but just trust me when I tell you they make these tacos amazing.

    I have made these on many occasions for crowds big and small and I have never had anything except rave reviews. I also grill veggies in a similar marinade for a meatless option. Love your blog! Keep up the great work!
