The best of Chuy’s Sauces – creamy jalapeno dip

I personally love Chuy’s. They do a fantastic job on Tex-Mex food. They have some of the best chips, they are thin and crispy. They make delicious margaritas and do a fantastic job on their enchiladas.

For me, their creamy jalapeno dip is one of their best menu items. This sauce goes well with chips, on top of tacos, on top of a taco salad, or just about any Tex-Mex dish you want to prepare.

This recipe is so easy to make, you can put this dip together in less than five minutes. I like to leave it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Ingredient notes

The pickled jalapeno peppers are essential. These peppers are perfect for recipes. The pickling process seems to take away the sharp heat that jalapenos can often have. The pickled jalapenos are perfect for nachos and all sorts of Tex-Mex and Mexican food.

I also use the Hidden Valley Original Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix, 16 Ounce. This is typically available at Sam’s, and sometimes, I have found it in my local grocery stores such as Kroger or HEB.

You can use the Hidden Valley Ranch Mix in all sorts of recipes, so it is an ingredient I like to have in my pantry. I use it for my Original Taco Soup recipe. I think it is cheaper to buy in bulk rather than purchasing in individual packages.

Is it better to use fresh or pickled jalapenos for this recipe?

Please use pickled jalapenos for this recipe. Pickled jalapenos tend to be of equal heat. When you use fresh jalapenos, you never know how hot they will be. In some stores, you can buy mild or hot pickled jalapeno slices, so be sure to use the kind close to your desired heat.

For the canned tomatillo salsa, I recommend canned La Costena Green Medium Mexican Salsa. The recipe can be made without the green salsa, and it will still be very close in flavor.
