Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken Tacos recipe with avocado and peanuts made right in the crock pot for an amazing and easy Thai dish for summer!

Do you remember the Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos that I made a while back?  Well, consider these Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken Tacos as sort of Thai version of those tacos.. and it’s no secret that Thai flavors are a favorite mine lately!  Tacos are a regular thing at my house so I was excited to switch up the flavors with these babies and I think you will love them as much as we did.  OH, and get ready for ALL Mexican food ALL the time next week on Wishes and Dishes.   That’s right, a whole week of nothing but Mexican dishes, so consider this a little sneak peak.  I’m so excited for it!

This is fantastic idea for tacos that perfectly brings together a Mexican concept and Asian flavors…two of my absolute favorites!  I loved the sweet-flavored peanut chicken, crunchy peanuts, cilantro and lime juice paired with the lightness of the fresh tortillas.  To be honest, the peanut sauce is the component that really stole the show as far as flavor.  Peanut sauce is seriously the king of all sauces in my world!  I’m convinced that it can make just about anything taste better.

These Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken Tacos are filled with flavor, and a breeze to make!  I also loved the bright, vibrant colors in these.  You have just got to love a quick meal that only LOOKS complicated.  Enjoy!
