Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and red curry paste until well combined and the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Marinate the chicken
    Add the sliced chicken thighs to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
  3. Cook the chicken
    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using tongs, transfer the marinated chicken to the hot skillet, reserving the marinade. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  4. Finish the chicken
    Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken. Remove from heat.
  5. Prepare the tortillas
    Warm the tortillas according to package instructions, either in the microwave, oven, or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the tacos
    Spread a small amount of sriracha mayo on each tortilla. Top with the cooked Thai chicken, shredded cabbage, sliced red bell pepper, cilantro, and mint leaves. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  7. Serve
    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos. Offer additional sriracha mayo for those who want extra spice.
