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.

Breakfast On The Go

Tonight, I did not have anything planned for dinner, so I decided to make my 'go to' for Kailee and myself, Organic Cream of Wheat {here} from Bob's Red Mill. I gathered my ingredients;

cream of wheat,
water,
sugar,
milk,
tall mason jar,
and these lids

I made my cream of wheat according to the package instructions, and poured it into my tall mason jar, I used a mini whisk, put sugar in the jar, milk and whisked until it was smooth, with no lumps. I placed the lid on top and placed the straw in that came with the pack. Off I was able to go! I did not need more than 6 ish minutes to complete a healthy, organic, delicious, and simple recipe that is way better for you and your family than McDonald's or Burger King. This is so filling, you will not need a snack or anything until lunch; but if you do, I recommend a banana, orange or apple to go with.

Kristopher and Daniel had some pancakes I made and frozen the other day; that is another simple recipe, on the weekends I love making my pancakes, and freezing them for the weeks ahead.
