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.

Game Day Chicken Dip

Football is just around the corner. We are mainly excited for The Ohio State Buckeyes College football over pro. However, there are teams we follow and will always follow on the pro team! We follow Green Bay Packers, and Seahawks; leave a comment below telling me who you follow or who is your favorite football team? Bring on the football season, as I am so ready with my game day chicken dip. 

You Will Need:

4 Large Organic Chicken Breast (Stage 3 from Whole Foods Market)
1 Cup Organic Ranch
1/2 Cup Franks Hot Sauce {or homemade}
1 pkg Organic Cream Cheese, room temp
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Organic Chili Powder
Organic Onion Powder
Organic Garlic Powder



Cook chicken on 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until fully cooked; I seasoned with chili powder, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder


In a square baking dish, place cream cheese, ranch, and hot sauce; set aside


Once chicken is fully cooked, in a food processor or Vitamix blender; shred the chicken


Mix the chicken into the cream cheese pan. Bake at 350 degrees for another 20 minutes, be sure to stir it halfway through


Serve with your favorite chips, or crackers (homemade is best)
