CopyCat Del Taco Chicken Tacos

Living in Arizona for 13 years of my adolescent life I grew up loving Del Taco. My parents would get take out there often. My sister, Michelle, that was her favorite taco out. If we did take out one night, Michelle always wanted Del Taco over anything else. She loves the chicken tacos. Now that I live in Ohio, Del Taco is not really out here. I have found 1 or 2 but they are some distance away from us. So, I decided to try and make that for my Sunday Family Movie night pick. Tonight, is my pick and I drew Mexican food so why not give it a try.  Marinade: 3 Large Chicken (I used thin chicken breast), diced 1 Lime, juiced 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning  1 tbsp Soy Sauce 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder 1/4 tsp Paprika Place all ingredients above into a ziplock, shake well and marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. I found the longer the better flavor.  White Sauce: 1 cup Mayo 1 Lime, juiced Whisk together in a bowl until smooth, set aside until ready for assembly.

Bacon Breakfast Gravy

Often enough my family, children included ask me to make them this gravy for breakfast; who are we kidding it is amazing, and super simple to make up. Plus I make bunches extra and store them in a ziplock (1 cup to 1 1/2 cup measurements) and place them in the freezer. Easy, peasy! When I want biscuits and gravy, I have it! I hardly make this gravy because it is hearty and can be a bit munch (on the waistline)! Nonetheless it is super yummy and a must have in your recipe folder!

You Will Need:

4 tbsp Organic Bacon Grease
4 tbsp Organic All-Purpose Flour
3/4 - 1 Cup Organic Raw Whole Milk
Organic Bacon
Salt & Pepper, to taste


Heat your bacon grease


Add flour and whisk for 1 minute


Heat your milk before adding to the grease and flour mixture


Whisk, whisk whisk.. Continue cooking until desired thickness


All done!


Super easy, and super delicious
