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.

Fluffy Waffles

Kristopher and Kailee absolutely love waffles, (yes we used to buy frozen ones until I discovered how easy it was to make them homemade and freeze yourself!) We go through so many waffles monthly, and pancakes it absolutely ridiculous! But, I see no reason to hold them back when I know exactly what is in the waffles, and how much sugar is in them. Let's make some waffles and let's freeze them for a fast and easier breakfasts' before school or even work!



You Will Need:

2 1/2 Cups Raw Milk
2 tbsp Organic Butter, melted
2 Organic Pasture Raised Eggs, separated
2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Organic agave
2 tbsp Organic Vanilla
3 1/2 Cups Organic Flour
1 Cup Chocolate Chips, or Organic Blueberries


In a deep glass bowl, add flour, salt, baking powder, and stir together, set aside.


Add milk, melted butter, egg yolks, and whisk together


It is okay to leave it 'lumpy', if you over mix this then it will not turn out fluffy 


In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites to stiff peaks... fold into the waffle batter mix; GENTLY! 


I divided the batter, chocolate chip (for Kristopher), blueberry (for Kailee) and plain (for myself and Daniel). Lightly butter your waffle iron, and place enough batter in according to your waffle iron. Cook until green light shows.. 


Chocolate chip all in it's yummy, beautiful glory!! Can you taste it?! This recipe is super simple, super easy to remember and def must have! I take these and pop them in the fridge for 3 days, they are gone! But you can freeze them for longer. Place on baking sheet, pop in freezer, freeze completely then zip-lock, date and label and you are done!
