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.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cookies

I love this time of year making cookies with my kiddos and husband and just enjoying all the Christmas festivities, movies and time together as a family. These cookies might not look super sexy but hey they nasty amazing! They freeze up well too. I usually make the amount below and freeze half.. We usually don't cook up more than 8 cookies at a time. 

You Will Need:
8 oz. Cream Cheese
2 Eggs, room temp
1 Cup Butter, softened
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 2/4 Cups Flour 
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 tbsp Cinnamon

Cream butter and cream cheese, add powdered sugar until combined (little at a time). Add eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder and mix to combine. Then add flour, place in fridge to "rest" for 1 hour. Taking a ice cream scoop (medium size) making balls out of the dough. Roll balls in the 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tbsp cinnamon. Bake at 375 for 8-10 mins.
