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.

Fruit Pizza

I love making fruit pizza. It is one of my favorite desserts to make, not only do the children love it but they can customize their 'pizza' how they want it, fruit wise that is. And boy, do they love helping and making their pizza. It allows the children to explore what they like and do not like. Having a bunch of cookie cutters so they can pick what shape they want. 
You Will Need:
1 pkg Cream Cheese
2 tsp Sugar
4 tbsp Powder Sugar
2 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vanilla
Add softened cream cheese and all the ingredients but the fruits
Whisk until well combined and fluffy
Cut fruit, any organic fruit will work
My homemade sugar cookies
Bake 350 for 10-12 minutes
Cool in freezer for 10-20 minutes or until completely cooled
Spread the cream cheese mixture on top evenly
Place in fridge to set, and serve when ready! YUMM!
