Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip
Description
This dip combines sour cream and mayonnaise to form a rich base mixed with pickled jalapeno peppers for a touch of heat. The addition of dry ranch dressing mix and tomatillo salsa introduces herbal and tangy layers, while fresh lime juice lifts the flavors with acidity. Cilantro leaves contribute a fresh herbal note, adding complexity.
The ingredients are blended just enough to keep some texture, resulting in a creamy yet fresh dip suitable for serving alongside tortilla chips, vegetables, or as a topping for grilled meats or tacos. The recipe is straightforward, requiring no cooking.
The notes suggest using La Costeña Green Medium Mexican Salsa for an authentic tomatillo salsa flavor, but the dip still tastes close to original flavor without it, allowing some flexibility with ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves
- 5 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix
- 2 tablespoons tomatillo salsa such as La Costeña Green Salsa
- 1/2 cup jalapeno pepper pickled
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a blender and pulse 7 or 8 times.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve.
Notes
- Use La Costeña Green Medium Mexican Salsa for an authentic tomatillo flavor.
- The dip can be made without the green salsa and retain a similar taste.
