Try out this Fajita Chicken Cream Cheese Dip at your next party or game day gathering!
You know I love margaritas. LOVE. I usually make my traditional authentic margaritas, and sometimes I like to get fancy and make blue margaritas. As long as fresh lime juice, tequila, and agave nectar are involved, I’m one happy lady.
Nothing goes better with a margarita than chips and dip, right? That’s why I’m bringing you this easy, scrumptious Fajita Chicken Cream Cheese Dip for your dipping pleasure.
This easy dip has all the tasty components of chicken fajitas plus monterey jack and cream cheese for double the cheesy goodness. It is so dang tasty! We ate it for dinner actually since it has chicken and vegetables in there. (Did you know bell peppers are a superfood?)
My husband used it to fill soft tacos instead of eating it as a dip, so that’s another option for this recipe. You could even serve it on top of a bed of rice and black beans. I’m getting hungry just thinking about all the possibilities for this chicken cheese dip. I hope you love it as much as we did!

- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, and saute for 5 minutes. Add onion, and saute a couple minutes longer.

Wondering about doing this in the oven, or if you were to do it in the slow cooker would you still do all of the stove top steps first? I need to make it ahead of hand, and heat it up later on at a party so wondering how I could make it ahead of time and reheat with best results.
Thanks!
I love the “you want this” on the picture. You are so right – I WANT THIS! I think I could eat that whole bowl of dip, and would love to wash it down with one of those delicious margs! And I love that the VEEV isn’t super high in calories…that means I can eat more dip!
I did some damage with this dip. I ate the leftovers for lunch the last two days! I was good and didn’t have a margarita at lunch on a weekday. That’s for dinner ;) Thank you, Cate! xo
Margarita Day?! I had no clue that was coming up! I definitely want to celebrate with one of those margs in your gorgeous pictures, Andi! I’m totally intrigued that the Vita Frute is made with acai berries, because I’m a big fan of those. And THAT DIP! I need it in my life!
I think you can faintly taste the acaí berries in these margaritas. You should give them a try! Thanks, Ashlyn :)
Can I please use excuse #5 today…umm, Tuesday? I guess I’d better wait a few days ;) That dip looks so delicious!
Ha! Thursday was just an example. Any day is fine ;) Thanks, Denise!
I do want this dip, it’s irresistible! And I love your lemon lime linen!
Thanks, Beth! I love that one too. It’s from Target of course, my favorite place ;)
Cheesy, yummy goodness. Easy & fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
Thanks so much, Susie!

You and my sister would get along perfectly. This dip is right up her alley!
Oh really? I’m all about dips! Thanks, Kacey!
