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.

Loaded Chicken Potato Casserole

Casseroles are a simple meal; throw everything into a casserole dish, bake and you have dinner in a matter of 30-40 minutes. I love the idea of an easy dish; as a mother of two very active children it is hard sometimes to find time to want to cook or even do it. I love being able to do minimum work but still have the best results on our supper plates.

You Will Need:

10-15 Organic Red Potatoes
1 pk Organic Bacon, diced
2-4 Pieces of Organic Chicken
Organic Green Onions
Organic Cheese, shredded
Organic Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
1/2 Organic Onion
Organic Parsley



Dice your potatoes, and place in casserole dish, place 4-6 tbsp of olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley and chopped onions. Bake at 475 degrees for 1 hour or until fork tender... meanwhile 


Dice your bacon


Brown bacon and crisp in your skillet; save 3 tbsp of bacon grease for the chicken


Dice your chicken, season however you wish (I used homemade chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper) 


Cook completely... 5-6 minutes a side on high (my chicken was cooked frozen that is why there is lots of water in the pan- no biggy)


Top chicken on the potatoes 


Add cheese


Bacon


Green onions


Bake 400 degrees for 10-20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown (I used my broiler was too impatient)
