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.

Homemade Tapioca Pudding

Ever since I was young, I have LOVED tapioca pudding so much; my father LOVES it and got me into it. But with out change on foods I have cut this out completely and it has been tough, but I decided to try and make this myself! And Oh Boy! Did I cannot believe I ever ate this crap pictured above! Making this homemade is something I will do very often; it is amazing!!

You Will Need:

1/3 Cup Small Pearl Tapioca
1/2-1 Cup Organic Sugar
1 Cup Water
4 Cups Organic Raw Milk
2 Organic Large Pasture-Raised Eggs
4 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract {or homemade}


Soak the tapioca pearls in a 4 quart stock pot, with the 1 cup water for 60 minutes. 


Whisk in your milk, sugar, and eggs; let stand for additional 30-60 minutes.


Place this mixture on the stove, and allow to come to a full rolling boil; be sure to stir this often with a wire whisk (how long to cook?)


Remove and let sit another 60 minutes, do not stir when it sits this 60 minutes; just leave it alone.


When cooled stir in the vanilla. The pudding will thicken as is cools.
