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.

You Will Need:

Place in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil; once boiling continue to boil until soft and almost mushy 


Save the water, you need that boiling water to mash these... 
Remove potatoes


Blend, adding the water from the potatoes slowing (blending on high until fully mashed)


Spread evenly onto your food dehydrator trays (link provided for the best dehydrator)
Dehydrate on 140 degrees for 12-26 hours
Once the potatoes are crispy like chips (they are done at that point- not sure where my photos went) you will then blend them until fine powder

To cook- boil 2/3 cups water and 1 tablespoon butter; turn off heat, add 1/4 cup milk and stir in 2/3 cup of the potato flakes and BAM!!
