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.

Deviled Eggs

This weekend is Kailee's 7th birthday! Woo hoo!! Like every single year the birthday person pick what he or she wants for dinner on their birthday and cake is a surprise. Well, like every year Kailee picks tacos for dinner and deviled eggs for snacks... shocker! Not! So here we go, onto making deviled eggs, absolutely love these eggs, but they give me such a belly ache (my grandfather has an allergy to eggs badly, and I have a mild allergy but cannot resist!) 

You Will Need:

Organic Mustard
Organic Just Mayo (the brand of mayo)
Salt
Organic Paprika
Organic Vinegar
Organic Pasture Raised Brown Eggs


Place the eggs in a stock pot, fill with water, and add vinegar (we count to 10 when adding vinegar)


Place on stove, on medium heat, and cover with lid, when eggs start to boil time 7 minutes. 


Once the timer goes off, leaving the lid on the eggs place eggs in sink for 3 minutes to rest


At this point you can do a number of things; 1 run cold water over them non-stop for 2 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for 5 minutes,


Crack the eggs, and peel; rinse eggs, and cut length wise (the long way)


Add a two heaping spoonfuls of mayo, and a good amount of mustard (these are to taste) add salt, and a pinch of paprika. Mush with a fork, and stir until incorporated, you may need more mayo if it looks to dry.


Take spoon fulls, and add to tops of eggs whites, sprinkle paprika, and cover with plastic wrap.


Refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours before enjoying! These are our favorite!!
