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.

No Bake Cookies

These are my favorite no bake cookies, they are super simple and taste like a buckeye candy. If you have never buckeye candies, you can find that recipe here. Take these two recipes together and place them out on your table during the Ohio State Buckeye football games and they are surely to be a crowd pleaser. As Christmas rounds the corner be sure you put these bad boys out for Santa!! The kids will love making these with you for that good ol' Saint Nick!


You Will  Need:
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Butter
2 Cup Sugar 
4 tbsp Cacao Powder

Heat on medium high to a roiling boil, and boil for 1 minute

Done! YUM!
