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.

Creamy Potato Soup

You cannot go wrong with homemade potato soup! It is my entire families favorite; Kris and Kai cannot get enough of this soup in the winter, fall or spring. It's just that perfect for year round enjoyment. Typically, I boil the potatoes in chicken bone broth, but I totally forget to go to the basement canning shelf and get a few jars to use instead of water. You want to def use bone broth as that gives you added benefits esp in the winter. I am not gonna preach why bone broth is so good for you, you can research and decide that on your own; just know it is very good for you. (we usually can up a bunch each summer for fall, winter meals. But if we run out, we save any chicken bones during the year (place in freezer) or get them from our local farm/butcher, we just can up more no matter the season). Normally, I make my own soup bowls for this with my bread machine, however I just was not in the mood today. Sometimes, I just am not in the mood to go full on with every meal and need a break (cooking 7 days a week 2-3 meals a day is a lot to handle sometimes). 
You Will Need:
1 Cup Rice
4 Cups Bone Broth
1 pk Bacon
1/2 Medium Onion
1 Stalk of Celery
3 lb. Potatoes
3-4 pk Cream Cheese
Salt & Pepper
Shredded Cheese, to top
