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.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Need I say more?!? Cream cheese frosting is always a good recipe to have for cupcakes, carrot cake, cinnamon rolls, and so forth (or in Daniel's case, to eat plain as is! that man)! For many years I never understood how to make a fluffy, light, and yummy frosting until I made these for our Christmas celebrations. We tend to keep things the same every year, I guess you could say it is tradition. Christmas mornings we make the rolls together, getting messy is so fun for the Holiday's, then I (ONLY ME!) makes the frosting; sorry I do not trust anyone but myself when it comes to this frosting. A lot of people put way to much sugar...



You Will Need:

1 pkg Organic Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 Cup Organic Butter, softened
1-2 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1-2 Cups Organic Powdered Sugar






Cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla


Add sugar, I added a little at a time, stir and continue adding until it taste right to me. I never measure the sugar


Mix to combine with a spatula then I use my hand mixer to fluff it up


Done! So yummy, creamy, lightly sweetened and a bit cheese flavor from the cream cheese!
