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.
Corn dogs is not something I normally will let my kids eat or even sniff! They can be extremely addicting and fried in THE WORSE OIL possible! No thank you! I do not even let them have hot dogs when we go out. One day we went to a Christmas gathering at my husbands work, Coca-Cola, I knew we should not have, but we did. We ate the hot dogs they were serving there. First off, they were disgusting tasting. Second off, they did not fill us up no matter how many we ate. Lastly, we all got the worst stomach pains and we were all glued to the toilet for days. I vowed from that day on, no hot dogs that are from anywhere else, and no cheap hot dogs. We not buy the BEST hot dogs we can.
These are the only hot dogs I will allow my family to eat. The ingredients in these hot dogs are very few and not bad at all. I trust this brand, so if you can find these, or the non-organic ones, they would be my first choice for sure! In this recipe, I used my second choice, Wellshire Farms hot dogs- those hot dogs are only found at Whole Foods Market or Sprouts, Trader Joe's and probably any natural foods store.
This is what it'll look like, scrape down the sides before continuing
Add eggs, and mix well (with either a hand mixer or your KitchenAid stand mixer
Add buttermilk; homemade buttermilk makes this recipe so creamy and so much better than plain old store bought; so take the time to make it yourself as its simply the easiest ever. (Baby, I'm worth it!... Uh huh I'm Worth it! tuning my daughters favorite song!)
Add dry ingredients and mix well
Scrape down the sides; at this point I like to turn the batter a couple times to make sure I got all the dry ingredients are incorporated
Place 1 tbsp into your mini muffin tin (I greased mine with butter really well, or you could use coconut oil)
Cut hot dogs into 1" pieces, I cut the ends off and feed them to my dogs; or you can microwave the ends and enjoy yourself
Place hot dogs in the middle of the muffin batter, and press down
Beautiful (I used one end in the middle it looked so ugly!)
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes; leave in muffin tin to cool for 5 minutes, then use a knife to help release the muffins. To reuse the pan (I had to 3 times) re-grease and continue on
So yummy and beautiful! My kids love these! When they take them to school for lunch, they told me all the kids said "you have the coolest mom ever!" "my mom does not make me those!" "they look so good! Can I have one?" Funny... You can be the coolest mom just by making healthier corndog muffins!
