Crisp taco shells filled with a flavorful chicken and rice noodle stir-fry in a creamy peanut sauce. A fun and delicious twist on classic Thai flavors.
Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
While noodles cook, prepare the peanut sauce. In a saucepan, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and heated through. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if the sauce is too thick.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until slightly softened.
Add the cooked rice noodles and cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through.
Stir in the white parts of the green onions.
Fill each taco shell with the chicken and noodle mixture.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, chopped peanuts, and the green parts of the green onions.
Serve immediately.

To warm the taco shells, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through. Use a taco shell stand to keep them upright.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness of the peanut sauce.
You can substitute tofu for the chicken for a vegetarian option.
Other vegetables, such as broccoli florets or snow peas, can be added to the stir-fry.
