			Applebee's Chicken Fajita Roll-up By Todd Wilbur Recipe Type: Appetizer Calories: 850 Cook Time: 2 hours 30 minutes Recipe Rating: 4.8 (11 reviews)

	Menu Description: "A large flour tortilla topped with melted Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, grilled chipotle chicken, shredded lettuce and pico de gallo. Rolled, sliced and served with a Mexi-ranch dipping sauce." Take Applebee's delicious chicken chipotle fajita recipe, roll it up in a large flour tortilla with lettuce, cheeses and fresh pico de gallo and you've got a meal to wrap your hands around. The Mexi-ranch dipping sauce is the perfect creamy compliment for this recipe and you can use what's left over for a dressing on your next salad. The sauce is actually just a kicked-up ranch dressing recipe that includes a small amount of buttermilk in the ingredients list. But if you don't want to buy a whole carton of buttermilk to use just a tablespoon for this recipe, that's okay. Substitute the regular moo juice you've got sitting in the fridge. For the spicy marinade it's best to use ground chipotle pepper (dried smoked red jalapeno) made by McCormick. If you can't find that stuff, cut the amount in half and use cayenne pepper. For the cheeses, many major brands make a cheddar/Jack blend that will work great here if you'd rather not buy the cheeses separately. That's helpful if you're about to tip the limit for the express lane checkout line.

Lynell   Submitted on 10/27/08 This is absolutely the BEST ever!! I love this item on Applebee's menu but this is so much better than that!!! It does have a bit of prep work but is it ever worth it. I used pickled jalapeno instead of fresh since I'm not wild about fresh jalapenos. This is the first recipe that I've purchased from your site but I am going to try more. Thanks for adding a new item to my family's list of favorites!!! Tam Vas   Submitted on 03/01/08 Absolutely the best roll up my family & I have ever tasted! I feel it tastes a lot better than Applebee's! Brice   Submitted on 01/03/08 Made this recipe today. It hit the spot the chicken marinade would be great for chicken skewers or any other mexican flavored dish. I will definitely do this recipe again. Michelle   Submitted on 08/21/06 This has become a favorite in my family. We will even just use the marinade and grill chicken for dinner. The only problem is the large amount of prep work with the pico and the sauce. If you don't have the time to prep, store-bought pico works just fine. Summer   Submitted on 03/25/06 I always order this when I go to Applebees and I was pleasantly surprised how similar it turned out! The marinade for the chicken was incredible and easy to whip up! The sauce and pico de gallo take some time to prepare, but are well worth the effort. I am a sauce person, and this rollup was so good, it stands up all on its own without any sauce! Loved it! Thanks so much for the recipe! Stacey   Submitted on 01/30/06 I was just looking for a new recipe and saw this one listed. We have used this recipe for years. It is my husand's favorite dinner. We went to Applebee's a few years ago and were very disappointed with their Chicken Fajita Roll-up's. This recipe is SOOOO much better. April   Submitted on 01/04/06 Our family really enjoyed this recipe. The kids don't like lettuce, but the flavor of the chicken is great with or with out the lettuce. I use this marinade for other dishes too. Terry   Submitted on 12/12/05 I recently had company over and wanted to make something different. I made this and got rave reviews. Especially on the flavor of the chicken. I have found that the marinade is great for other mexican dishes (chicken tacos, burritos, etc.). Judi   Submitted on 09/09/05 This recipe is fabulous! This has always been one of my son's and my favorites at Applebees and this recipe provides an exact replica of the restaurants rollup (if you follow it exactly with no alterations or substitute ingredients). It takes a bit of time to make, but it is very much worth it! If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend you do! April   Submitted on 07/26/05 This is my favorite at Applebee's and now being able to make it at home is awesome. The recipe is right on and taste great! France   Submitted on 07/19/05 I make this recipe quite often for friends and it's a hit everytime! Love the dipping sauce!
