Chicken Fajita Dip

alijen's Note:

A Mexican-flavored dip- Serve with tortilla chips and garnish with jalepnos if you like something a little hotter. Its so easy and always goes over well at tailgates, parties, or just anything really.

This was such a yummy dip! I think it should be called Chicken Taco dip instead though. It really had nothing fajita about it.

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.
