With Cinco de Mayo coming up, I really wanted to squeeze one more Mexican food post in.
In our house, it’s unusual for everyone to agree on food, but we all love Mexican and Tex-Mex.
Sometimes Mexican food can be messy, especially for kids (Who am I kidding? I always make a mess with it, too).
These dippers are full of chicken fajita filling in a neat, fairly mess-free little roll-up.

Looks great! Do you think they would be just as good the next day? Looking for something to make ahead for a tailgate party. Thanks!
Kate says
Thanks! I’m not sure! I haven’t tried making them up to the point of rolling them and the chilling before baking. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out!
Melissa M says
i was wondering what is in the dip you have pictured next to the fajita dippers?
Kate says
I’m embarrassed to admit what it was! I just mixed some ranch and some salsa into sour cream.
Salma says
I made these for a dinner party, and they were a hit!! So easy to make and so delicious. They just flew off the plate! I want to make these again for my husband and I for dinner, but to make it dinner friendly instead of bite size, should I just put more filling in each tortilla? What do you suggest?
Kate says
I’m glad they were a hit! =) You could try using a larger tortilla (like a burrito size)and maybe doubling the amount of filling that the recipe calls for? I hope that helps!

I could eat a million of these. And not even feel bad.
Jocelyn says
These are fantastic! I made mine larger than the recipe calls for (I got about seven total dippers), and they were a perfect entree. Your recipes never disappoint!

I have a question, how do you cook your chicken in preparation for this recipe? Hoping I am not the only one who would like to know…
kateheartseating says
Usually if someone has a question on a recipe, there are other people who have that same question, and I’m happy to answer them!! I just boil the chicken and then shred it once it’s cooked. You could also use leftover plain grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken.
Jessie says
