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.

Green Bean Casserole

Holidays are coming! Holidays are coming!! OMFG!! Get ready! I love, love, love making this green bean casserole. I use as many pure ingredients as I can; for example I used canned green beans (but I canned them myself!), I used raw grass-fed milk, and cream of mushroom soup (not in a can). You can take any classic recipe that may not be 'healthy' for you and you can make it healthy; as I did here. The crispy onions I used only have 4 ingredients in them (which is amazing considering what is in French's onions). When I use items that are non-organic I like to look for 5 or less ingredients, not in a can, and does not contain anything 'bad'.


You Will Need:

4 Cups Organic Green Beans (I used canned that I did)
1 Cup Organic Raw Grass-Fed Milk
1 Organic Cream of Mushroom (12 oz)
Crispy Onions (I got from whole foods market)
Salt & Pepper



Mix the cream of mushroom with the milk, whisk well


Stir in green beans


Add in crispy onions, mix, and top with more. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until everything is heated through


I served it with roasted potatoes, and pot roast that I cooked in spices and other things, then thickened it with gravy packets (organic from whole foods)
