Copycat Chuy's Creamy Jalapeño Dip
Report
This bold and amazing creamy jalapeño dip is a very close copycat of the dip/sauce served at Chuy's restaurant. The tangy dip has just the right level of heat, and a creamy ranch flavor!

Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced pickled jalapenos mild, medium, or hot (we normally use medium)
- 2 Tbsp juice from jalapeño jar
- 1 cup fresh cilantro packed (I just grab a generous handful)
- 2 fresh tomatillos husks removed, tomatillos washed and quartered
- 1 - 2 Tbsp lime juice fresh is best
- 1 cup sour cream full fat is recommended
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise full fat is recommended
- 1 oz packet powdered ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup buttermilk this amount will depend on how thin or thick you'd like the dip to be

Instructions
Prepare
- Tomatillos come with a papery husk covering them. Pull that off, wash and scrub the tomatillos, then dry and quarter them.
Process "green" ingredients
- To a food processor, add jalapeños, jalapeno juice, cilantro, tomatillos, and lime juice, then pulse until pureed.
Combine creamy ingredients and seasonings
- Set aside. In a mixing bowl, add sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch dressing mix, salt, and garlic powder.
Combine the two
- Add the pureed jalapeno mixture to the mixing bowl and stir into the sour cream mixture.
- If sauce has lumps, add it back to the food processor to process again until smooth.
Add buttermilk
- Stir in buttermilk until desired consistency is reached. Dip is supposed to be a little on the thinner side.
Chill and store
- Transfer dip to an airtight container, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Keep refrigerated, and the dip will keep for about 2 weeks.
Notes
- Dip makes about 2-3 cups, which I've estimated would comfortably feed 8 people.
- If you like the consistency of your dip/sauce after combining the jalapeño mixture with the sour cream mixture, you can omit adding the buttermilk. I find I usually add about 1/4 cup.
- The lime juice is optional and can be omitted if you'd like, we just love the tang and freshness it brings.
