How to Make Applebees Chicken Fajita Rollup

  6. Top with shredded chicken, lettuce (2 cups shredded), and pico de gallo.
  7. Tightly roll up each tortilla.

  9. Serve immediately with Mexi-ranch dipping sauce (1 cup - recipe can be found online).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
