  • 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

Thai Fresh Salsa

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    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.
  • Step 
    3
    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.
  • Step

    Cut chicken into thin strips. Fill tortillas with chicken, salsa, sauce and peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.
