How to Make Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Lime Sauce

  1. Roast 4 large jalapeños until slightly charred. (Optional, but highly recommended!)
  2. Roughly chop the roasted jalapeños.
  3. In a blender, combine the jalapeños, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Blend in batches until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra zing or jalapeño for extra heat.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step will enhance the creamy texture and allow the flavors to fully develop.
  7. Serve chilled with your favorite grilled meats, nachos, or as a dip with tortilla chips.
