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.

Dehydrated Apples

Kristopher and Kailee love dehydrated apples because they are like "chips" to them without all the nasty additives in the chips. Daniel has never been one to sit down and eat a apple or really any fruit, but I found that when I dehydrated these bad boys he was all over them! Literally ate the whole bag in one sitting. It is like the Pringles slogan says 'once you pop you can not stop'. Well here is mine for dehydrated apples, once you crunch you can not stop! Everybody loves the dehydrated apples, but adding that little extra sweetness makes these suckers stand out on there own! I love to make sure I keep these on hand, along with my other dehydrated fruits. The dehydrator I linked is affordable, BPA-Free and a brand I trust.


You Will Need:

Organic Apples
Organic Sugar
Dehydrator
Apple Core {VERY CHEAP BUT THE BEST}
Foodsaver 
Foodsaver Lids for Mason Jars


Wash apples


Remove core


Beautiful organic apples- you see you can use any kind of apple


Slice on 1/32 


Place sugar on plate and cover both sides with sugar


Fun but messy!


Place on dehydrator


I placed a towel under mine because it leaks sugar! lol dehydrate for 8 hours or until crisp 


Store in ziplock and enjoy! Trust me they will NOT last very long!! Or you can store these in a mason jar and vacuum seal.
