By Posted on 328 views

Thai Peanut Chicken Tacos made in a creamy Thai peanut sauce, topped with a fresh pineapple slaw, and served in a flour tortilla.

In the event that you haven’t saw, I have somewhat of a dependence on Thai food. I truly love adding Thai flavors to conventional food sources (like pizza and tacos!) Take this Thai Chicken Pizza, or this Thai Quinoa Salad , for instance. What’s more, these Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps are perhaps the most mainstream plans on my blog. The best part pretty much these plans is they are past simple to make. Truly.

These Thai Peanut Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Slaw are To. Bite the dust. For! I need to make them after my little man has rested (since he’s hypersensitive to peanuts), yet that is OK in light of the fact that my significant other and I have no issue breathing in the whole feast without help from anyone else. The first formula comes from Jen over at Carlsbad Cravings – I just added some more things to the slaw, and changed the nut sauce a bit. These are GOOOOOOD. Like great.

For best outcomes we like to utilize a 1/3 chicken blend to 2/3 slaw proportion layer your tortilla with simply a spoonful of the nut chicken, and afterward a few spoonfuls of slaw. The flavor combo is astonishing, and the mash of the slaw goes so well with the rich chicken in nut sauce. Expectation you all adoration these however much we do!
