Ingredients Explained
🐔 400 g chicken breast in large pieces 🧄 1 large garlic clove 🧀 100 g cream cheese (e.g. Philadelphia) 🧀 80 g grated cheese (cheddar, gouda or emmental) 🥛 50 g cooking cream or Greek yogurt 🫒 20 g extra virgin olive oil 🧂 1 teaspoon salt 🌶️ 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder ⚫ ½ teaspoon black pepper 🌿 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
Also:
🌯 4 large wheat tortillas

Equipment and Preparation
Before you start, prepare everything. This makes the recipe run smoother and more fun 😌.
What you need:
– Thermomix (TM5, TM6 or similar)
– Spatula
– Pan or microwave to warm the tortillas
– Cutting board and knife
Mise en place:
Cut the chicken into large pieces and weigh cheese and spices. Wash and cut lettuce, tomatoes, and onion beforehand. In 5–10 minutes everything is ready – then you only need to fill the wraps.
Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions
1 Put the garlic clove into the mixing bowl and chop 5 seconds / speed 7. This distributes the aroma evenly without big pieces.
2 Add chicken, oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs. Program 8 minutes / Varoma / reverse / spoon speed, so the chicken cooks without being chopped.
3 Add cream cheese, cream, and grated cheese. Cook 3 minutes / 90 °C / reverse / speed 1 until everything is melted and creamy.
4 Check consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk or cream and mix briefly.
5 Taste and adjust salt or spices if needed. Now is the perfect moment to personalize.
6 Warm tortillas in the pan or microwave so they are flexible and don't tear when rolling.
7 Fill wraps: lettuce, hot chicken-cheese filling, tomato, and onion if desired. Fold sides in and roll tightly.
