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.

Sweetened Condense Milk

I have never tried canned sweetened condense milk because honestly I did not trust it (ingredients and canned lining scared me crap-less). I have always wanted to make my own for hot cocoa, fudge and other yummy treats (once in a while basically). Buying all organic ingredients also helps make this a lot better because you are using pure ingredients and you are not buying something that is processed and junk. Give it a try and let me know what you think..

You Will Need:

1 1/2 Cup Whole Milk
1/2 - 2/3 Organic Sugar
3 tbsp Organic Butter
1 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract



Add sugar and milk into a stockpot 


Bring to a simmer, making sure to stir OFTEN 


Allow to simmer, while stirring, for 15 minutes or until thickened


Once thickened added butter


Add vanilla


And whisk like CRAZY. Leave on stove another 5 minutes to thicken it again a little more. After that, allow to cool for 30 minutes in the pot (stirring) and its done.


You can store this in an air tight container for up to a month. With the holidays right around the corner, I plan to make a huge triple batch for fudge, hot cocoa, and more. Enjoy!
