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.

Christmas 2022

Christmas 2022 is in the books! What a GREAT day we had just being together and celebrating. Not to mention, we really had no choice, we were "stormed" in from all the rain/snow we got here in Ohio. We really did not mind that at all. Just hung out, enjoyed playing games, setting up new computers and my mother in law came over. Not having to worry about pleasing every single person coming over, was nice, just did our thing the four of us.

The kids are SOO ready for school now, the office transformation turned out exactly how I envisioned it and their reaction was beyond what I thought! I loved every second of that! We decided that morning after breakfast that we would give them the rooms first, then they would not think about computers since they were not in there.. sneaky but smart! They had ZERO idea. 

The Christmas unwrapping our gifts below has my children out of it for their privacy and has music over it since my husband had his vinyl's playing Christmas music, we did not want any issues with copyright. We truly hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Years!!! 2023 here we come one way or another! Time to let a LOT of bad baggage go this year!! I feel free!!
