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.

Instant Pot Ham & Bean Soup

I use bone broth in this recipe ALL the time, but I was out of my stock when I made this. :( Bone broth gives you an added health benefits and if you are ill bone broth is VERY good for you to help you start to feel better. I cooked this for 40 minutes on high pressure but it needed longer. I like to do 40 minutes open it and check it because it won't take as long to come up to pressure since its still very hot. Here in Ohio, it has been SOOOO cold and windy that soup is really all we want (the kids even want it and they are not big soup fans). This soup, however, is everyones favorite. We love this soup so much, that I canned it and is downstairs in our canned foods storage (all canned from myself and my husband together- here is a photo of it below). Anyhow, if you love soup, give this a try it is super easy and sooo yummy! But def start it a few hours before dinner so we can double check it is done and give it another 20-30 minutes if needed once 40 minutes is up.

You Will Need:
16 oz Dried Navy Beans
1 pk Diced Ham
2 tsp All Spice
2 Bay Leaves
1 Ham Hock
3 Carrots, diced
2 Celery Stocks, diced 
1/2 Onion, diced
4 Cups Chicken Bone Broth
