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.

Bob Evan's Sausage Gravy

Daniel and I visited Bob Evan's for the first time ever when the kids where in school. I have to admit, I am not too high on eating out (in fact it NEVER happens). I rather enjoy making our food, than eating out. Anyhow, at Bob Evan's we decided to share the Biscuits and Gravy. It was good, a little gelatin-ish for my liking but not bad overall; I did however get a horrible stomach ache from eating it. Boo! I decided to make this from scratch. 1- it is not that difficult to do, 2- it is better for you, because you control the ingredients 3- no stomach aches! I set out to find the best ingredients possible. Now finding a good quality sausage is rather tricky; I know Whole Foods Market has good ones, but I was not in the mood to drive there. I used Kroger Simple Truth brand.

You Will Need:

1 pkg Organic Sausage
1/2 Cup Organic All-Purpose Flour
Salt & Pepper, to taste


Un-case all the sausage into a nice sauce pan, I added a little organic olive oil to keep them from sticking since this pan is stainless steel crap sticks pretty well!


Leave on medium heat to brown


Smells amazing


Once browned, as you can see, I made sure to chop the sausage rather finely


Add in the flour, and cook for 1 minute- this removes the raw floor taste


Pour in the milk; bring to a boil, and reduce, cook for 10 minutes or until your desired thickness


I know Bob Evan's gravy is a brown color, and you can surely obtain that color if you continue to cook this until browned- I, honestly, do NOT like it brown creeps me out lol. I stick to white gravy- add pepper, and taste to adjust salt (ours did not need any)


Pour over homemade fluffy biscuits and enjoy! These are to DIE for! Honest!
