½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper , to taste
1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary ,or more, to taste
1/8 teaspoon dried sage
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 batch homemade egg noodles , or 5 cups dry egg noodles, farfalle or other bite-size pasta
3 cups rotisserie chicken *
1 teaspoon better than bouillon chicken flavor , (or more, as needed), or chicken bouillon cube
1. In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, add butter, diced celery and carrots to. Saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
2. Add chicken stock and season with rosemary, sage, crushed red pepper, and salt and pepper. Taste and add a spoonful of “better than boullion” chicken or chicken bouillon cubes as needed.
3. Bring broth to a boil. Add noodles (either uncooked homemade egg noodles, or dry store-bought pasta) and cook just until noodles are al dente.
4. Add chicken meat from the rotisserie chicken. Taste the broth again and add more seasonings, if needed
5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, depending on the freshness of the chicken you used.
Notes
Stock:Homemade stock gives the best results.
Chicken: Using a rotisserie chicken (or your own whole roasted chicken) is the best method because you can use the meat for the soup and the bones to make homemade chicken stock. To use raw chicken meat, add raw chicken thighs, breasts, or tenders right to the boiling broth in step 3 (before adding the noodles). Cooking time will differ depending on the chicken you use but cook for about 5 minutes before adding the noodles.
Make ahead: This soup is best made ahead of time when you are using homemade egg noodles (they don’t get soggy like regular store bought noodles). If using regular dry noodles I recommend making the broth (steps 1-2) first, and then the day of serving boiling the broth and noodles and adding the chicken.
Freezing Instructions: Allow the soup to cool completely and store it in a freezer safe container for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or over medium heat on the stove. If using store bought noodles I would suggest undercooking the noodles before freezing the soup, to avoid them getting soggy upon reheating.

Vampiros tacos  Print Recipe

Serves: 4

Preparation time:15 minutes

Cooking time:35 minutes

Tacos, tostadas, and quesadillas are all part of one crowded, complicated family of Mexican foods: antojitos, (“little cravings”) refers to street snacks or appetizers. In reality, most antojitos never make it beyond Mexico’s borders, including a funky street snack in Sinaloa called a vampiro. Imagine a corn-tortilla taco that’s cooked on a grill until it turns crackly and crunchy. Then add a layer of gooey melted jack cheese between the tortilla and the other toppings.
For the tacos:

½ cup orange juice
2 8-ounce cans chipotle in adobo, puréed
1 cup chicken broth
1 pound chicken breast meat
2½ cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

8 corn tortillas

For the pico de gallo and serving:

5 fresh tomatoes, diced
1 small white onion or red onion, diced
1 small green chile, like jalapeño or serrano, stemmed and finely chopped
3 tablespoons lime juice
½ cup cilantro leaves and stems, roughly chopped
salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Lime wedges, to serve Make the tacos:
In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the orange juice, chipotle purée, and chicken broth.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the chicken.
Gently poach the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 157 degrees Fahrenheit, about 15–20 minutes. Do not let the liquid boil.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and bring the cooking liquid to a boil.
Boil the cooking liquid until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it and return it to the cooking liquid.

Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat.


Arrange 4 of the tortillas on a clean work surface and sprinkle each with cheese.

Place the remaining 4 tortillas on top of the cheese-covered tortillas.

Add a spoonful of chicken and a generous pinch of cheese to the center of the tortillas.

Working in batches, if needed, carefully fold the tortillas in half and place them on the griddle.

When the tacos are golden brown and crispy on the bottom and the cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes, flip the tortillas and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 5 more minutes.

Make the pico de gallo and serve the tacos:

In a small bowl, toss the tomatoes, onion, chile, lime juice, and cilantro until well combined.

Season the pico de gallo with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the tacos hot with pico de gallo and lime wedges.
