Fajitas are already an Applebee's staple and now the brand is taking the dish to the next level with its new Loaded Fajitas. As Applebee’s chief marketing officer Joel Yashinsky explains, “We’re introducing our guests to sizzling, delicious and craveable Fajitas in only the way Applebee’s can – by loading them up with queso and bacon."
Applebee's new Loaded Fajitas start with your choice of either sirloin steak, chicken, or shrimp. Your protein of choice is then served in a sizzling skillet alongside Spanish rice, bells pepper, onions, and other fajita vegetables. The skillet is then topped with hot queso and pieces of applewood-smoked bacon for that extra flavor. With your sizzling skillet at your side, you can prepare each fajitas yourself with warm flour tortillas, cheeses, guacamole, lettuce, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
If the idea of hot queso and bacon is a bit much, you can always stick to Applebee's regular sizzling Fajitas.
