Fajita Steak Rolls

Sam’s™ Fresh Salsa was looking for food bloggers to compete in the premier “Sam’s Fresh Salsa Blogger Recipe Challenge.” I was honored that I was one of the 30 bloggers chosen for this contest. I was super excited about this challenge, because I absolutely LOVE chips and salsa and Mexican Food in general.

We were sent samples of (3) different varieties of their salsa –

Sam’s™ Fresh Cantina Medium Salsa
Sam’s™ Fresh Salsa Verde
Sam’s™ Fresh Watermelon Jicama Salsa

I love that you can read all the ingredients in the label = No Artificial Ingredients!!

Prior to deciding what recipes to come up with for the challenge, I served up all three varieties at a Memorial Day gathering with all of our friends. This was the first get together we had since the start of the pandemic, so it was nice having everyone together to enjoy a cookout. Everyone loved each and every flavor.

The one flavor everyone was hesitant on, ended up being the fan favorite all around – Sam’s™ Fresh Watermelon Jicama Salsa.

Challenge Details:

There were two different categories for this challenge – the first was appetizer, which couldn’t just be the usual chips and salsa or nachos. Stay tuned, I’ll be posting that recipe creation in the next few days!!

The second category was Entree. I decided to make Fajita Steak Rolls. Hands down, this recipe was a winner. Super easy to assemble. Throw it in the crockpot and in just a few hours, you will have an amazing dinner that will “WOW” your family and friends. My husband devoured and said I definitely needed to make this again on repeat.

This post is sponsored by Sam’s™ Fresh Salsa, but all opinions are 100% my own.

The hardest part of this recipe is the chopping of the vegetables.

And if you have some extra tortilla chips on hand, you can snack a bite (two) of some of the extra vegetable-salsa mixture. SOOO GOOD!
