This recipe is delicious as a dip as salad dressing or on most anything you would like to try. We haven't had this recipe very long but it is already our family favorite. My nephew who lives near Dallas gave it to me. This is definately edible! We served this at my g-daughters wedding in LA last week end and people put it over their tamales we had taken from NM. Good stuff.

How To Make chuy's jalapeno dip (sauce)

  • Step 1
    Tomatillo Sauce: I use up to 5 tomatillos, shucked and boiled for about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Step 2
    Add tomatillo sauce, chopped onion and garlic to blender. Add chopped fresh jalapenos, cilantro and blend well. You will need to add the buttermilk to help blend the above ingredients. Add mayonnaise, dry ranch dressing and juice of 3 limes.
  • Step 3
    This won't fit in my blender so after blending the dry ingredients along w/some buttermilk and mayo. I put part of it in my big mixing bowl, continue to add to the blender the rest of ingredients. Add to mixing bowl and mix well.
  • Step 4
    Depending on how hot you want the dip either take out the seeds and veins of the jalapenos, or leave them whole for most heat. I normally use 2 whole and 3 seeded, depending on the size of jalapenos.
