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.

Theater Popcorn

The most amazing experience is going to the movies enjoying a big bowl of buttery popcorn! Well, with all the GMO's out there, I have opted out of enjoying movie popcorn outside of my home. I tried to recreate the best movie theater popcorn and bam I did! We enjoy this amazing popcorn for movie nights. The hardest thing is to keep the popcorn stocked during the movie, we always end up making two batches, and you would think by now I would learn my lesson and double this recipe, but nope! HAHA! Grab your kids, get your pot, and get into the kitchen to pop some fresh non-gmo popcorn!



You Will Need:

Organic Olive Oil
4 tbsp Organic Butter
2/3 Cup Organic Popcorn
Salt, to taste
Stockpot


To start you want to drizzle the olive oil in the pan, almost covering the bottom. Add 4 to 5 popcorn seeds and cover. Let them do their thing! This is so cool!


I added my butter to my seeds


Mixed them up


Added to the popcorn seeds to the pot (move the kids out of the way, these suckers splash)


Cover the pot and let it do its' thing


OMGG this is super cool- let pop for roughly 2 minutes, you will have to determine when yours is done- I do not like burnt so of course I stop it right at 2 minutes


I melted about 4 more tablespoons of butter, and mixed to the finished popcorn while in the pot still


Add salt, to taste


It is amazing how this taste just like theater popcorn
