How to Make Chuy S Creamy Jalapeno Dip

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix.
  2. Let the mixture stand for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Finely chop 2-4 jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh serrano chilis (optional, for extra heat).
  4. In a small bowl, combine the chopped chilies and cilantro with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and the juice of 1 lime.
  5. Gently fold the chili mixture into the ranch mixture from step 1.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a smoother dip, blend all ingredients together after step 1.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips. The flavor intensifies and the heat builds over time!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
