The BEST Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Copycat Recipe

 



INGREDIENTS

  • 3/4 cup cilantro leaves, large stems removed
  • 1/2 cup pickled Jalapenos
  • tablespoons juice from pickled Jalapenos
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 heaping tablespoon dry ranch seasoning Hidden Valley or similar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh)
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk optional

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • 1 - In a food processor (or blender works too), purée cilantro leaves with the pickled jalapenos and 2 tbsp of their juice. Purée until as minced as possible, scraping down the sides a few times.
  • 2 - Put the mayo and sour cream in a mixing bowl. Add the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  • 3 - Pour cilantro mixture directly into the sour cream mixture. Stir to combine. Add lime juice, then a little buttermilk if needed to thin it out, a splash at a time until you reach desired consistency. 

  • 4 - Store in a mason jar, condiment bottle, or a bowl tightly sealed. Refrigerate up to five days. Best served chilled so the flavors have time to meld together.
