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.

Spaghetti Sauce

Spaghetti is a family favorite so I figured I would share my favorite recipe for sauce (with meatballs!) I mean come on it has meatballs you know you want to try this recipe! You can change out the ground meat with whatever. I have made this often with ground beef, and a mix of ground meat and ground pork (mild). But this is as basic and as simple as it comes, nothing crazy about it.

You Will Need:


3-6 tsp Homemade Italian Seasoning (to taste)
Homemade Meatballs
1/2 Onion, chopped
Olive Oil
1 lb Ground Meat
1 Can Tomatoes, diced
1 Can Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Garlic, fresh
Salt & Pepper, to taste



Dice your onions


Add garlic, onion, and olive oil in a stock pot


Add salt


Add pepper


Cook until translucent 


Add ground meat


Cooking until browned


Drain off extra grease (when I use turkey I leave the olive oil because it gives it a deeper flavor to the sauce; if you use hamburger meat drain for sure)


Add tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes (I also added basil, parsley and garlic salt)


Let Simmer then add spices


Add your Italian seasoning, adjusting to your taste


I used homemade meatballs I had fully cooked frozen, I added them in and let this simmer for 2 hours
