  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet or bake it in the oven.
  • Feel free to customize the slaw by adding sliced bell peppers, chopped peanuts, or fresh herbs like mint or basil.
  • If you like it spicy, add more sriracha to the peanut sauce.
  • Serve the tacos with lime wedges and extra cilantro for garnish.

Storage and Serving

  • These tacos are best served immediately while the chicken is still hot and the tortillas are warm.
  • If you have leftovers, store the chicken, slaw, and peanut sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • To reheat, gently warm the chicken in a skillet or microwave and assemble the tacos with fresh tortillas and toppings.
  • These tacos are great for parties or gatherings. Set up a taco bar with all the toppings and let guests assemble their own tacos.
