Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice
8 small corn or flour tortillas

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
