Thai Chicken Tacos with Peanut Sauce
Who says tacos can only have Mexican flavors? That’s actually what I always used to think until I tried tacos switched up with different types of cuisine, like these Greek Tacos. Once you expand beyond the Mexican-style tacos you’ll open a whole new world of taco possibilities. These Thai Chicken Tacos with Peanut Sauce are easy to make and they are packed with flavor! They’re so good they deserve to be added along to the rotation with these shredded beef and pork tacos.

I’d love to try this in a different presentation, like Thai chicken wraps for lunch, or Thai chicken lettuce wraps (just using lettuce leaves in place of tortillas for a gluten-free option). You can use ground chicken if that’s easier! This chicken would also be perfect for a Thai-style salad with a peanut dressing or in a rice or noodle bowl. The chicken has a fantastic standalone taste thanks to the marinade which consists of robust and vibrant ingredients like lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and fish sauce. And don’t worry I’m still getting used to fish sauce so my recipes stick with smaller amounts so it’s not overbearing. If you’d like more than a tablespoon, by all means, go ahead. Adding a drizzle of vinegar and low sodium soy sauce will make it more tangy, red pepper flakes for spice, and the bold flavor of sweet chili sauce for sweetness. Need more crunch? Add bean sprouts, coleslaw mix, chunky peanut butter, scallions, and sesame seeds. Taco Tuesday just got an incredibly delicious new addition! We absolutely loved these and I hope you do too!
