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.

Christmas Cookies

Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite Holiday cookies! Daniel has a found love for my chocolate chip cookies, and loves peanut butter so I decided to merge the two, and give him a little protein in the cookies; featuring my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!! I do not really have much to say about these, expect if you want to make them a bit more healthier (I mean who are we kidding cookies are cookies, they are not meant to be health but you can use homemade peanut butter instead of store bought (my recipe is linked below) and you can use soy-free dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. Dark chocolate (I am talking about 70% Cacao powder here, not any less than 70%, if you can find higher get that!) is extremely good for you because it helps with weight loss, it has antioxidants, lowers blood pressure and so many more, the list is endless. This dough is safe to eat raw! 

You Will Need:

1 Cup Organic Butter, unsalted (softened)
1 1/2 Cup Organic Sugar
2 Large Pasture-Raised Eggs, room temp
2 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
2 1/4 Cup Organic All-Purpose Flour (or whole wheat)
1 tsp Baking Powder (Bob's Red Mill)
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Cups Organic Dark Chocolate Chips (70%)
1 Cup Organic Peanut Butter 


In your stand mixer, or a deep bowl, attached with a the paddle attachment (I am using my hand mixer), cream the sugar and butter together. 


Add peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla, mix together


Add you dry ingredients in and mix together, until incorporated


Looking GOOD!!

Fold in the chocolate chips


Scoop even amounts on a baking sheet; I always use my small ice cream scoop so it makes even amounts


You can either cook the cookies, at 350 for 9-12 minutes, take out cook 5 minutes, and then cook completely on a cooling rack or...


These are frozen, I LOVE making a bunch of these in minis, and freezing them for later (Daniel always steals the cookie dough and eats it raw, that is why I always use pasture raised eggs).
