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.

Homemade Tacos

Tacos in this house is literally a weekly thing! Taco Monday, Taco Tuesday, Taco whenever! We do not care; the kids love tacos, I love tacos and so does Daniel. I mean honestly why not; it is simple to make, leftovers are amazing next day, and it can make up within 30 minutes; as long as you prep before and by prep I mean cut your lettuce, cut tomatoes, cut avocados, shred cheese, and whatever other toppings you want that need prepped get prepped.

You Will Need:

1 Head Organic Green Leaf Lettuce
2 Organic Tomatoes
3 Cans Organic Chili (Amy's)
3 lb. Organic Ground Meat
12 Organic Taco Shells
Homemade Tortillas
Organic Avocados
Organic Raw Cheese, shredded
Homemade Taco Sauce or Salsa
Organic Sour Cream


In a stainless steel pain, add olive, and your ground meat (I added turkey) and chopped onions (these onions are chopped and dehydrated homemade). Season meat with onion powder, garlic powder, cumin and a little chili powder, pepper, and salt (the amount is up too you)


Chop lettuce


Chop tomato


All my stuff ready to go! 


Add your canned chili, I omit adding taco seasoning packets and just season the meat as it cooks adding the chili to it brings out amazing flavor


Ready to be eaten!


Here we go..After your meat your shells (350 degrees for 10 minutes) make your taco, topping with whatever you wish 


Ah-mazing!


Looking at these, makes me want to jump through the screen and eat away!!! Taco CRAVING!
