Creamy Tomatillo Jalapeno Ranch Dip

Creamy Tomatillo Jalapeno Ranch Dip

To say Texas has lots of Tex-Mex restaurants would be a huge understatement.  We have one on almost every corner.  Each one has its own specialty.

One of the more popular chains in Texas and other Southeastern states is Chuy’s. They have many wonderful dishes, but what makes people keep coming back is their creamy jalapeño dip. It is what they are famous for.  It is what everyone raves about.

My sister shared her copycat recipe with me over the phone, and it was good. However, to me, it was missing something. I made it again, only this time I added a 1/3 cup Herdez Tomatillo Verde Mexican Cooking Sauce; and that took it over the top. Perfection! I had to force myself to stop eating it. I could live off this dip and chips! Yes. I’m addicted to it.

What makes it so special?  It is creamy, spicy, full-flavored and marries well with crunchy, salty tortilla chips.  The combination of sour cream, tomatillo verde sauce, ranch dressing mix, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeños just makes me melt thinking about it. And it is so easy. Just throw everything in a food processor and refrigerate.  It is best made well ahead of time if you can wait that long.  Go ahead and try it.  You will be addicted too!

    Mine came out super runny. :(. Not sure what I did wrong, or how to thicken it up without overpowering with another flavor. Help!

      Hi Sarah, The only thing I can think of is maybe you used an 8-ounce container of sour cream instead of a 16-ounce container? If you have extra sour cream, you can add more of that to thicken it up.
