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.
Ingredients for Chuy’s jalapeno ranch
The Chuy’s creamy jalapeno ranch is made fresh, and guess what? You can prepare this yourself it is quick and easy to prepare. This creamy jalapeno dip will stay fresh in your refrigerator for a few days.
You will need a few simple ingredients you will need sour cream, mayonnaise, lime, fresh cilantro, pickled jalapeno peppers, and some dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix.
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.
