{Baked} Chicken Fajita Dippers

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.

    Yum!! I love the unique take on the normal “chicken fajita”. I would have never thought to add brown sugar… but I like it! :) Great recipe Kate! :)
