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.

Strawberry Glaze

This strawberry glaze can be used for pie fillings, topping on cheesecake, or on top of ice cream! Yummy!! I am sure I will be asked this often so I will answer it now, here.. Yes! You can use; strawberries (as I have), blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries (I have only tried this recipe with these berries, nothing else). 


You Will Need:

1 Cup Organic Fresh Strawberries, cut
1 Cup Organic Sugar
1/2 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
3 tbsp. Organic Arrowroot 
3/4 Cup Water


Add sugar, water, and strawberries to your pot


Mix a tbsp of water with your arrowroot powder 


Keeping these aside, boil the strawberries for 5 minutes


Add your vanilla and powder mixture and continue to reduce until you research your desire thickness 


I boiled for 10 minutes, stirring often! Remove from heat, and place in fridge to cool completely (this will thicken it up more)


YUM!
