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.

Fajita Seasoning

Fajita's has always been a family favorite. One thing I always hated about fajita's when my mother used to make them for the family is the seasoning packets she used to use. Do you guys have any idea what is in those things?! They are not needed at all! This fast, easy, and delicious fajita seasoning will replace any store bought in a heartbeat. Better yet, you can double, triple, four times, even six times this recipe; and store it in a nice air tight mason jar container!

You Will Need:

1 Cup Organic Chili Powder
1/2 Cup Salt (Real Salt Brand)
1/2 Cup Organic Paprika 
4 tbsp Organic Granulated Onion
4 tbsp Organic Granulated Garlic
4 tsp Organic Cayenne Pepper
4 tbsp Organic Cumin




Put all spices in a mason jar, place lid on, and shake together. You can add more or less cayenne pepper, depending on the heat you like on your fajita's. When you are ready to use, it is 1 tbsp per pound of chicken, shrimp, or steak.
