Recently I met up with my roommates from London in Houston, TX. Of course we had to try Tex-Mex, so we headed to Chuy's. Our first stop was the margarita's (only $5) and they were fabulous!
Once seated we were served corn chips with their house creamy jalapeno sauce. Oh.My.God. This was the BEST sauce/dip I have ever had. Of course I had to try and recreate it at home. The best way to describe this sauce is a spicy, creamy, garlic, ranch dressing.
This can be used in so many ways, here are some of my ideas...
- Salad dressing
- Dip for chicken wings
- Dip for quesadillas
- Dip for crudite
- Chips & dip
- Enchilada filling

This looks great. I love the pics with the stem of the pepper in the dip!
