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.

Organize With Me

I try to stay as organized as humanly possible with 2 kids 3 dogs and a husband (aka 3rd child!) Some days the house is better than other days. Some days the downstairs will look stunning and then you go upstairs and the game room is a mess, beds not made, bathroom has clothes everywhere and so forth. I do my best with what I have and honestly some days it just stays how you see it, some days I am lucky to manage to cope throughout the day (if I have a migraine or just do not feel well). Last week, I got the pantry under control again, now it is time to move onto messier things. 😂😂
But with Spring right around the corner, I am trying something new this year. I am trying to get ahead of the clutter and mess before Spring arrives, let's see how that goes. My idea is to declutter, clean, and organize 2 draws a day in my kitchen. Now each day I will compile into 1 big video instead of 4 separate ones. So... yeah these draws were icky and in big need for cleaning, decluttering and just organization in general. I cannot believe we allowed them to get this bad. Some days we could not even close the draws or open them and finding things was a mystery too. 

My amazon shop is here where I have all my items I used for this organizing adventure!
