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 Kefir Smoothie

I love, love, love smoothies! Cannot get enough of them ever! I also love saving these and adding them to a zipzicle bag and freezing them for the kids! I was given free coupons from Maple Hill Creamery to try their new 100% Grass Fed Kefir (I decided to get the Vanilla, Strawberry 2 of each). I have to tell you, this is literally the BEST kefir I have ever tried. I love the idea of it being 100% Grass Fed, all organic and non gmo. I also am using my favorite chocolate powder (cacao powder). This stuff has a lot of super benefits and is good for you (no need to feel bad for adding a wee bit to your smoothies because you are adding a superfood) BAM!! I plan to incorporate more smoothies into my families diets (this one I wanted to add Spinach and you can, I just did not have any at that moment BLAH).

You Will Need:

1 Organic Banana
1/2 - 1 Cup Maple Hill Creamery Vanilla Kefir 
1 Organic Kiwi
1 Organic Apple, Cored
Ice
1 Cup Organic Frozen Strawberries
2 tsp Cacao Powder
2 tbsp Organic Honey Raw
1/2 Cup Organic Blueberries 









Throw all ingredients into the Vitamix Blender and blend until smooth
