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.

Freezer Sausage & Egg Muffins

Breakfast is always something that needs to be fast, easy and ready within minutes or the children get whiny. Also, Daniel needs something easy for when he is in a hurry and running behind before work at 4 A.M. Recently, I made my homemade English muffins and decided to make a knock off for McDonald's, sausage, egg and cheese muffins. Oh boy! Did these please! Not only do they look absolutely amazing, they taste just as good! Give them a try, you will be surprised!




You Will Need:

Homemade English Muffins (here)
Organic Sausage
Organic Pasture Raised Eggs
Organic Cheese Slices



In a skillet, place the sausage cover the bottom with water, and cook on medium high, once brown, turn and continue cooking until all the water is gone, then cook another 2-3 minutes per side to give it color.


Take mason jar rings, cover with butter, and place on a griddle (this one I got is chemical free) heat to 325, and slowly pour whisked eggs into the rings (yes they may run slightly out the ring but that can be trimmed). Cook 2-3 mins then....

Flip over the eggs, again it may run a bit, and cook for 2 mins, then beat them out with a knife or spatula, I had to use an oven glove because the rings get hot; so be careful!


Now assemble your sandwich; eggs first


Then sausage


Top with cheese and bun


And there you go, homemade sausage and egg English muffins! 


I wrapped these in bpa-free plastic wrap, and put them in ziplocks then into the freezer! They were gone in a matter of days! Hard work paid off woo hoo!! Will be making these again for sure!! When you take them out of freezer, you can defrost first that way they heat better. I say if you want to eat some the next morning put them in the fridge so they are defrosted already and all you have to do is heat and go!
