About the Cook

My name is Lalaine, and welcome to Onion Rings and Things, where you’ll find hundreds of comfort food recipes, simple crafts, holiday fun food, printables, and how-to videos.

I worked for many years as a Dietary Manager in a skilled nursing facility, overseeing the food production and service of hundreds of meals a day.  In May 2016, I made the giant leap to quit my job and blog full-time. May I say, best decision ever? I feel so blessed to be able to wake up in the morning and do what I love to do in my pajamas!

Chicken Soft Tacos with Secret Sauce are what's for dinner tonight! With flavorful chicken morsels and taco fixings wrapped in soft tortillas, and then drizzled with a dreamy Del Taco-inspired sauce, they are quick and easy to make yet pack big, bold flavors.

Chicken Soft Tacos with Secret Sauce

I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for a while and finally made it tonight. We grilled the chicken like the recipe suggested and it was SOOOOO good and easy to make. My husband said it tastes BETTER than Del Taco. Paired it with a salad and it was a perfect summer meal. We will definitely be having this often. Thank you for sharing 😊
