Vietnamese Banh Mi Street Tacos

This is an excellent recipe!  So crazily addictive.  I could eat this every day.  I didn't use the suggested mint, I went with just cilantro, as that is what I had on hand, and I just love cilantro.  The marinade is fantastic and produces great tasting chicken.  Just be sure to really make sure the chicken is well drained from the marinade before cooking it up in a hot pan (I used a large cast iron pan that was quite hot) otherwise the chicken just steams instead of frying and getting a nice crispy, caramelization.  I am also going to try it as a salad next time (instead of tacos) as that would be a great low carb option with the same fantastic flavour!

Sommer,
I love this one. A great idea

Amazing! I was short on time, so I cut the chicken into cubes, mixed the sauce and microwaved as directed. Then I threw everything into the instant pot for 25 minutes. After doing a quick pressure release, I simmered on sauté medium for about 10 minutes and then strained the extra juices off. Meat was falling apart/shredding. All 3 kids (older teens/young adults) loved it - said it was the best tacos ever and I have been trying several lately- beef barbacoa, carnitas, etc. Also, I increased the meat to 2 1/2 lb and did not increase the marinade/sauce. They want it again tomorrow, but I am going to try Thai peanut chicken tacos.

Not a scrap of chicken left. All of my picky kids cleaned their plates and held off each other from getting their seconds. This was my first attempt at making Bahn Mi 'anything' and I can't say how it would compare to traditional Bahn Mi, but this is definitely a keeper recipe.
The recipes made plenty for the 5 of us to have 2 decent sized tacos. I had a lot of vegetables left over so I'll be using that for another recipe :-)

Fantastic!  A recommendation for those who find the fish sauce pungent:  heat only the lime juice & sugar together until dissolved. I used a sealable container for marinating. Place the cut up chicken in with jalapeños & garlic, pour in the lime juice & sugar mixture then add the fish sauce last. Stir & seal then refrigerate. 

So so so good! Tried it as a vegetarian and a vegan recipe for a dinner party and the recipe worked great with tofu! Everyone loved it and went back for more.

I just want to say that this was my favorite recipe last summer and it is going to be my favorite again this summer. (I actually use chicken breasts and make hubby cook them on the grill-then dice for the tacos).
The flavors are amazing! I really can't get enough of this!
