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.

Vanilla Frosting

Tis the season... to make cookies and decorate them with your family!!! I absolutely love watching my kiddies make cookies and decorate them however they please! Of course, I only use homemade sugar cookie recipe- which is one of my top posts currently. Having family activities to do during the Holiday season makes the Holiday so much better, in my opinion. I love pulling all my cookie cutters out, and watching my kids, with the biggest smiles ever, make their favorite shaped cookies. Decorating can be a bit of a pain, and messy, but honestly it is their smiles that make it completely worth it.



You Will Need:

2 Cups Organic Powder Sugar
2 tbsp Organic Grass-Fed Butter
4-6 tbsp Organic Raw Milk
1/2 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
Natural Food Coloring
Sugar Cookies







Cream the butter, making sure it is nice and fluffy before continuing on


Add vanilla, and cream together some more


Sift in the powder sugar


Add 1 tbsp a time of the milk and mix in with a silicon spatula 


Once all the powder sugar is mixed in (I used 3 tbsp milk) and the consistency you want, mix really well until very fluffy with your kitchenaid mixer or hand mixer. Add in your natural food coloring (we do not use any other food coloring but what is posted above on our food)
