Thai Chicken Tacos

chicken tacos

I know, tacos two days in a row? I’m sorry, I just love them. And I promise these are completely different from the ones I shared yesterday. This is a recipe that I got from my sister in law. She is such a good cook. She cooks like her mom, and I love her cooking too. They have a special knack for cooking healthy dishes that always include a ton of fresh veggies and nuts or beans, and somehow making the dish taste like it’s not really good for you. Because it tastes so good. I added a few more things to her recipe, but the basics of the dish are still the same.

The combination of the sweet chili sauce and chicken all wrapped up in a soft tortilla shell is so good. You won’t be sorry you tried these. I added a cucumber salsa, but you could also do a mango or some other fruit salsa, or simply lettuce and tomato, or even shredded lettuce.
