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.

Chicken & Cheese Taquitos

My family LOVES Mexican food. I blame my parents for this, since I grew up in Arizona which is HIGHLY populated with Mexican restaurants. I remember every year on my birthday a tradition my parents did was whoever's birthday it was got to pick dinner that night, well I would always pick PoPos Mexican Restaurant. It was my favorite. Well, I grew up, had kids, got married and now we have Mexican food once a week. I try to switch it up, come up with more ideas so we do not get sick of it. These hit the spot and were so good. We made them with Mexican Rice. 

I made extra so I could freeze them as well as use them for dinner that night. Just place baking sheet in freeze until frozen, then bag and tag ziplock. These usually do not last in our freezer for more than 3 months. 

You Will Need:
Small Tortillas
Cheese
2 Taco Packets
Rotisserie Chicken, shredded

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, add 2 tbsps to tortilla (these are the street taco size) roll and bake at 350 until crispy on one side, flip and cook until that side is crispy. Took 10 minutes a side for us.
