Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons red curry paste
1 lb uncooked chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
1 ripe medium mango, seed removed, peeled
1 jalapeño chile, seeded, diced
1/2 teaspoon red curry paste
1 Granny Smith apple, julienned
1/4 cup torn fresh Thai basil leaves
8 Old El Paso™ tortillas for soft tacos & fajitas (6 inch)
1/2 cup dry-roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix coconut milk and 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons red curry paste until well blended. Reserve 1/4 cup mixture in separate container for brushing on chicken when grilling. Add chicken to bag; toss to coat. Refrigerate about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, place Mango Sauce ingredients. Cover; blend on high until smooth. Place in bowl until ready to serve. Place Thai Fresh Salsa ingredients in separate bowl.
  • Drain chicken, keeping as much marinade as possible on meat. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cook chicken 5 to 8 minutes on each side until cooked through, brushing with reserved coconut milk mixture halfway through cooking. Heat tortillas on grill.
  • Cut chicken into thin strips. Fill tortillas with chicken, salsa, sauce and peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover chicken. They're also a great option for a weeknight meal.

I used shrimp instead of chicken and it was delicious. The coconut curry sauce was perfect with the shrimp.

I added some chopped pineapple to the tacos and it was a great addition. It gave them a nice sweetness.

These tacos were a hit with my family! The coconut curry sauce was flavorful and creamy, and the chicken was tender and juicy. We'll definitely be making these again.
