My peke will pee within 30 secs of touching the grass and my saying, "Go potty." Pooing however requires a small walk behind our house. There is an empty lot that is fenced in, but the outside of the fence is a dirt area, and she'll only poo in this dirt area and not on the grass.

It might be a Chihuahua thing, lol. I have two Chi-mixes, and both of them are picky-poopers. It's quite silly to me.
When I first rescued Donatello, it took him 45 minutes sometimes to finally poop. He would squat, and almost do his deed, and then resume pacing for a few more minutes. He's not nearly as bad now, I used the q-tipping method for a long-time, to ensure I could make it to work on time, and I used it to help train "go poop". So by now he's not nearly as picky, well- he's still picky but a lot faster at finding a spot.
Miggy is picky, but when he finally makes the decision that he has to go, he'll finally succumb.
I would say she's just really picky, and I would encourage her to speed it up, and if she doesn't take her back inside for another 30-minutes to an hour and then try again. Doing that in-conjunction with q-tipping helped Donatello learn I mean business when I tell him to do his.
