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.

Velveeta Cheese

I love making homemade velveeta cheese. It is simple to make and very cheap to buy, especially if you have the ingredients on hand. I recommend using the gelatin I link down below because it is made from grass fed animals and is a lot better for you than regular unflavored gelatin. But if you cannot afford this, unflavored gelatin will do just fine.


You Will Need:

.28 oz Grass-Fed Gelatin
1-1 1/2 Cup Boiling Water
6 tbsp Bob's Red Milk Powder Milk
16 oz. Organic Milk Cheddar Cheese



Shred your cheese


Take a bread dish and line with plastic cling wrap; make sure its over the sides


I can eat this cheese plain, I love mild cheddar cheese (from whole foods market)


Measure out your gelatin  


Add your powder milk, gelatin in your blender, then add your boiling water (I put my water in the microwave until I saw it boiling- took about 3 minutes)


Add cheese and blend until smooth


Pour into your dish, and cover with plastic wrap (BPA-Free wrap! Of course!) Place in fridge for 8 hours or overnight


BAM you made it! Without all the nasty ingredients and still melts like regular stuff!
