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.

DIY Crayons!

Taking boring old crayons and turning them into something fun that children want to use is super easy! When my kids were just learning to color I would make them the big fat shaped crayons to help them learn. But because the children are 8 and 7 years old they get to pick which crayon mold they want to use and what crayon colors to mix. These are made by kids for kids!! Materials you will need; silicone molds, crayons, bowl with water, baking sheet, oven-preheat to 250 degrees.



Drop the crayons in the water and let them sit (as you see they will bubble). Leave them in the water for 5 to 10 minutes; this helps the crayon wrappers to peel easily. Some of the crayons are plain old stubborn and will not come off no matter what, so you will have to peel them


Now peel away the crayon paper


They are so pretty just like this!


Break the crayons into tiny pieces and be sure to fill the molds with the broken crayons; as you can see my children lacked a bit on the crayons and did not over fill. Also, be sure your crayons are in the molds, Kristopher missed one and it went onto the baking sheet (which is okay with my because that is our crayon mold baking sheet) Bake at 250 degrees for 10 minutes or until the crayons are completely melted


Super pretty! Let them completely cool; I left mine alone for an hour


Here they are! Are they not super pretty!!! The Christmas trees look amazing!! And the color mixture is beyond cool!!
