Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cooked chicken, seasoned

  • ¼ tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Use your own combination of sliced cheeses and already cooked meats. Ex: sliced steak, sliced chorizo sausage, chicken fajitas, etc.

  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  4. In your blender or food processor add chicken & baking soda and begin to blend with melted tallow.
  5. Add in the egg while the blender is on.
  6. Let your “dough” chill covered in the fridge until firm. (About 1-2 hours, or overnight)
  7. Using a large piece of parchment paper, spread half of the batter in the middle in a rectangle shape about 1 inch thick.
  8. Layer your slice of cheese and sliced meat in the center of the batter.
  9. Using the parchment paper, carefully wrap the meat and cheese with the batter. Folding the parchment into the shape of your fillings. Fold in the last 2 flaps underneath the tamale to hold it closed.
  10. Place on a sheet pan and bake for about 20 minutes. Let cool 3-5 minutes and unwrap the parchment paper.

Chicken Taco Soup

Makes 1-2 servings.

Ingredients

  • 6-8 ounces cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 18-20 ounces beef or chicken broth
  • 2 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic 
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a pot and let simmer for at least 20 minutes.
  2. If you want to use raw chicken, dice it up and cook the same way, except let simmer for at least 30-40 minutes instead. You can even use bone in chicken for more flavor. If using bone in chicken, it will taste best if you let simmer for closer to an hour.

You can also throw this all in the slow cooker and let it go on low for the day, 4-8 hours. Feel free to top this off with shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, or even pork rinds for crunch!
