Chicken Fajita Dip

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Appetizers & Dips, Popular Recipes sidebar, Reader Favorites, Recipes 14 Comments

This Chicken Fajita Dip will solve all your nacho issues. Do you ever order a plate of nachos and find in the end you are left with 1/2 a plate of chips and no more toppings? I'm here to solve that issue! I wanted to make a dip that would mimic the flavors of chicken nachos. This way I know every chip I dip has yummy goodness on it. Chicken Fajita Dip has all the toppings you love on your chicken fajita nachos and lots of the cheesy, creamy goodness you love in a great dip.

PIN THIS SO YOU DON”T FORGET TO MAKE IT!

My husband and I LOVE hot spicy foods. The tingle on your tongue and the heat that goes through the top of your head is any chili lovers wish. We even named our first child dog Chili! Texas Pete Hot Sauce asked me to share with you a recipe using their sauce and after playing a little in the kitchen I came up with a dip that everyone will love. The best part is that you can adjust the heat to your preference.

Texas Pete offers lots of great flavors and is not just a condiment you can add it to tons of recipes like your weekly pizza or warm up your soups, even more, this winter.

This chicken fajita dip's heat can be adjusted by the type of hot sauce you use and by how much you put into it.

To make this chicken dip, start by creaming together your softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Monterey jack cheese and blend them into the base. Spread it in the bottom of your pan.Chicken Fajita Dip is the perfect appetizer recipe. No more Nachos without toppings again. Great Game Day Dip #Texas Pete
Saute some onion and bell pepper in a little olive oil until soft. Feel free to use a red, orange, yellow or green bell pepper.  Place this on top of your cream cheese mixture.Chicken Fajita Dip is the perfect appetizer recipe. No more Nachos without toppings again. Great Game Day Dip #Texas Pete

Shake on the Texas Pete Hot Sauce of your choice. Be generous I used about three tablespoons, and it was not so hot that my kids could not eat it. Unlike their parents, they are total spicy food wimps. It's sad really, but we'll keep working on them.

    In your ingredients list you forgot to mention the Black beans. I'm guessing it's a regular size can.
