  1. No peppers, onions, garlic or lime juice? Then it's not a fajita. This is chicken TACO dip. And don't use one of those seasoning packets and bother to call it a recipe. It takes one minute to add some real cumin & chile powder.
     
  2. This was such a yummy dip! I think it should be called Chicken Taco dip instead though. It really had nothing fajita about it.
     
  3. MMMMMM...delicious! I did sub in Salsa for the bottle taco sauce to give it some chunkiness. Left out the olives and chopped tomatoes. Will definitely make this again. Made for both events in Cooking Photos.

I'm a graduate student studying agricultural economics, originally from Georgia. (Go dawgs!) I try to eat very healthy, most often low-carb. But, I do love sweets sometimes. I like to bake for others so much- so I do it all the time and have become known for just stopping by with casseroles, brownies etc..
