Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip

On par with most good mexican food restaurants. In fact, I'll say that about their food, also. Not the best in town, but definitely good food.

 

Why make it when they will often give you a huge container of it for free or charge less than Ranch would cost at the grocery store. Just ask them for it.

 

OK guys, I am going tomorrow because when I mentioned it to a co-worker, he went overboard in praising their secret sauce or whatever else they have.

So, question: what do I order when I go there? What do you guys recommend? Do I order those chips/tortillas or do they just offer them up along with any order off the menu?

Thanks in advance.

 

I don't know about everyone else here.. but I always dip my entree into the green sauce.. especially the fish tacos..

 

I haven't had Chuy's Jalepeno sauce but try this one. It's good also....

I submitted my recipe here........http://sidedish.allrecipes.com/az/87186.asp

A really good recipe source. Mine only has 2 reviews.


"A tremendous hot sauce that will spice up sandwiches, marinades, vegetable dishes -- just about anything! Jalapenos are boiled, then blended smooth with canola oil, salt and pepper."


INGREDIENTS:

* 1 1/4 pounds fresh jalapeno peppers
* 2 tablespoons canola oil
* salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Set aside 1 jalapeno pepper(do not seed this one). Cut the stems off all jalapenos; slice in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds.
2. Place all of the peppers in a large pot of boiling water. Boil peppers about 15 minutes. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of boiling water, and drain the rest.
3. Cut the stem off the remaining whole pepper, and place all of the the peppers into a blender. Pour in reserved water and canola oil, and season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve hot or chilled.

Don Jose Mexican Restaurant on Pinemont is good also. Just don't like the nieghborhood. Their Charcoal Beef Enchiladas are awesome, the chili gravy is great. Does anyone know how to make the chili gravy???

 

I went to Chuy's tonight and had the Chika Chika Boom Boom. Damn that was goooood. My wife got the shrimp tacos with the creamy jalapeno dip on top and they were fantastic.

tiger - They bring the creamy jalapeno dip out with your chips/salsa. Sometimes they will only bring the red sauce though, so just ask for the creamy jalapeno if that happens. It tastes a lot like ranch dressing, so if you're not a fan of ranch you won't like it.

 

Gracias! What''s the chika boom boom?

 

It's your typical chicken mexican dish, but the waiter does you afterwards...

 

It's a chicken enchilada dish, with a really good spicy sauce on it. Only available on Fridays though.

 

Glad it worked out for you. I guess next time maybe use 1/2 cup jalepenos.

 

Umm...do you mean the waitress?
