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.

Fajita Night

One of our favorite new meals, I cannot believe I forgot I had this recipe completely done in September 2015, and never posted it! I guess it got lost in my other recipes! Boo to me!! =/ These fajita's seriously made my house smell like onions, peppers, mushrooms, and yummy homemade seasoning for WEEKS! We made these the first week after moving in, and I could smell the peppers lingering in the apartment for 4 weeks (maybe longer), afterwards. So amazing, delicious, easy to make, does not require much 'hard' work and just overall will please all of your guest or family. These are a huge hit anytime we have friends or family come over; I love whipping them up. It just allows people to pick and chose what they wish to have on their meal instead of shoving everything in it and saying "here eat it and shut up" lol.

You Will Need:
Sirloin Steak
Sour Cream
Raw Cheese
4 Peppers, sliced
4-5 Onions, sliced
2 pks Mushrooms, sliced
2-4 tsp Garlic 
Home Canned Salsa 
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Cut veggies, and cook down in skillet
I used my cast iron skillet, haha way too small! But I made it work!
Start browning your meat, add seasoning; the cook really depends on you... you can cook longer, but I cooked it 4 mins aside, sometimes less.. I wanted it pink in the middle still; once that is down, dump into a glass bowl with its juices
Add a little Olive Oil, add chicken, season it and cook away.. this is a bit longer as you do NOT want raw chicken, 8 mins a side.. again when done, place in a glass bowl of its' own with the juices 
You are ready to go... that is how I made mine 1 of each!
So delicious, easy, and a 'knock your socks off' kinda meal!
