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.

Chili

It is getting colder here in Ohio, so a nice bowl of chili sounds amazing!! I changed my dinner menu from pot roast to chili as it has been snowing on and off and is freezing. I try to make the chili more on the mild to medium ish side so the boys have a slight heat to it but us girls can stand eating it. Tonights chili was amazing! Best I have made so far. 
You Will Need:
2 lb Beef
2 Cans Tomato Sauce
1 Can Diced Tomatoes
1 Can Chili Beans
1 Can White Kidney Beans
1 6 oz Can Mushrooms
2 Chili Packets
Chili Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Garlic Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Onion Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Diced Onions (to season meat while cooking)
Salt & Pepper (to season meat while cooking)

You adjust the heat of your chili yourself, myself and my daughter likes a more mild-ish to medium-ish chili whereas my son and husband want hot hot. Be sure you taste as you cook for seasoning (salt and chili packets/spice). After I browned the seasoned beef, I added the rest of the ingredients with 1 can of water and let it simmer for an hour (the key to a GREAT chili is letting it simmer for hours. The longer the better, but I only could wait an hour while the cornbread cooked).
