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.

GoOrganic Candy












Feeding your children natural, organic foods, snacks, and meals can sometimes be very hard when you cannot find good quality candy, oh boy do not get me started on grocery shopping and seeing candy at the registers. Now do not get me wrong Kristopher and Kailee know better than to ask for the nasty candy at the register, but come on! They are children and children do like to have candy once in awhile (which I am completely okay with). But even more so now that I found an organic candy company! GoOrganic is 100% organic, non-GMO, gluten free, allergen-friendly, naturally flavored, made in the USA, and simply delicious (not going to lie I may have an addition to these candies). Kristopher is crazy about the peppermint candies, Kailee loves the cherry, and I am obsessed with the honey or honey-lemon ones. I have found that the honey and honey-lemon hard candies are simply amazing when it comes to sore throats these babies help me get through the sore throat without halls or medication from a doctor. I am dying to try the apple hard candies and they have a mix pack of strawberry, watermelon and mango. Well, you can give these a try for free, I have teamed up with GoOrganic for one lucky subscriber will receive 2 bags of these candies (not sure what bags or if you can pick but will find out once giveaway ends).

You can purchase your bulk candy from GoOrganic by clicking that link, you can find these in Fresh Thyme, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, and most health food stores (I have not found them in regular stores like Kroger or Wal-Mart but does not mean you cannot look). I personally like to buy mine in bulk, because let's face the facts here, between 2 children, friends of the kids, family, and myself these babies hardly last a week in the house! My poor candy jar is visited often when the kiddos know I have GoOrganic hard candies in the box! I cannot express enough how much we love these hard candies (the chewable ones are pretty amazing too, but working on phones all day they can be a pain in the butt to chew, so I stick to the hard candies and no one knows I am eating anything).

Just a side note here, these candies are PERFECT for Halloween (yes it is sometime away and we do not take part in Halloween dress up I do enjoy handing out GoOrganic candies to the kiddies, at least I know they are getting one good treat from someone and who knows maybe the kid will love it and beg mommy/daddy to buy them again.

So yummy when you have a sore throat or stomach pains! Daniel loves them!
Kailee's favorite (have to really watch her or she sneaks them!!) :))
I love these or the plain honey hard candies... mmm in fact I am eating one as I type this!! :))
These are amazing, hard to eat while on the phone working, but pretty good nonetheless. 

**Products were provided to me free of charge (some of these pictured I did buy myself) from GoOrganic, however all opinions are my own**
