      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    Submitted by rtilse on 31. July 2020 - 18:53.

    Delicious! Hubby loved it too. I added corn cut off one cob and 100g back beans into chicken mixture. I find it needed this otherwise there wasn’t enough mixture using 270g chicken. I also added 2tbs sour cream to the mixture (picked up from a Cookidoo recipe)
    I also added 1 tsp chicken stock paste when cooking tomato sauce.
    1/2 tsp Chili good for us - I would say a bit more than a medium heat, saved adding jalapeños. Also used a lot more cheese (80g) but found we could have got away with 40g and saved the calories. With the additions, ours turned out at 354 calories each.
    Thanks for calculating calories too - it helps when you are counting them! Will definitely put this recipe on rotation. Served with homemade guacamole.

    Thanks for all the feedback - this recipe is all about making a tasty, healthy and simple dish... that can be adapted to suit your taste buds.

    *tip* I recently made a batch and found they didn't turn out so great when using *large* tortilla wraps as they turned out too doughy.

    Submitted by bjajun on 20. July 2017 - 08:15.

    Thanks. I added carrot & zucchini in with the onion & garlic at step 2 and omitted the salt as for toddler as well. Everyone loved it! I didn't have any mexican spice so I used 2 tspn smoked paprika, 2 tspn sweet paprika, 1 tspn onion flakes, 1 tspn garlic flakes, 1/2 tsp ground cumin & 1/4 tspn cayenne pepper instead. It was for young children as well so I didn't include other chilli but if you wanted to increase the spice, another 1/4 tspn ground black pepper and substituting the sweet for hot paprika would work.

    I love this recipe however I use two tins of tomatoes as I like it extra saucy, and substitute chick peas for red kidney beans tmrc_emoticons.) I also find its enough to make 6 tortillas rather than 5.

    Easy to make, healthy and certainly tasty. Both partner and I felt that it was missing *something* - couldn't quite work out what. Maybe tomato paste, or herbs, or even just a dash of vegetable stock concentrate? Either way, will be making it again for sure.

    First time making these - they were so good. I went a bit heavy on the chili for our tastebuds (1/2 tsp) so next time I'll halve it. They were so easy to make and I will definitely make them again.
