We absolutely love this. We were a little gunshy the first time; I mean, who ever heard of peanut chicken tacos? But it turned out to be amazing. I use Bibb lettuce instead of tortillas, my husband prefers flour tortillas. We add a little water (just rinse out the blender to the pan to make the sauce a little less thick. Last night we made this with cashews and cashew butter, since we were out of peanuts. Still fantabulous.

Two tomatoes aren't enough for all the peanuts. I tried this again with three large tomatoes and left the other ingredients as is. It came out just fine. Also...for those who complained the sauce was bland...be sure to use the adobo from the can of chipotle chiles, not bottled adobo sauce. That's where you get the heat!
