Chuy's Jalapeno Ranch Dip


Chuy's Jalapeno Ranch Dip
feeds a crowd

8 ounces mayonaise
24 ounces sour cream
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup tomatillo salsa
1 handful of cilantro
3 ranch dressing packets
1/2 cup pickled jalapenos

Combine all ingredients in a blender; process until smooth.


Awhile back I had never eaten at a Chuy's Mexican food restaurant, but had heard the jalapeno ranch dip there was very good. Then I tried a friend's homemade version and loved it! When our new Chuy's opened here in town, I couldn't wait to go and try the jalapeno dip. Guess what?? I thought my friend's was better! :-) This is her recipe. I've made it twice now, and to scale it down a bit to serve just our family, I used 1 packet of ranch, 1/4 cup jalapenos and 1/4 of the other listed ingredients.

    AAAAH!!! I don't think I needed to know about this? Wait...yes I did. THANK YOU!! We love this sauce and it's FREE!!!! We get it instead of queso when we can't afford the queso. :) (You know it was originally just a sauce for some of their dishes, like the baja tacos and then people started ordering it as a dip??)

    It looks yummy and creamy. I love ranch and buttermilk...it's a wonderful combination. My husband loves jalapenos with cheddar dipped in ranch...wonder how this will compare. :) Love your blog.

    Hi this sounds yummie and I want to make it for a party. What brand of tomatillo salsa did you use, because some are better than others and also did you use the ranch packets that call for buttermilk or milk? Thanks

    I am a Chuy's Jalepeno dip fanatic. I go and buy it at the restaurant for special occasions. NO MORE! This is absolutely delicious. Tastes as good as Chuy's, if not better. I made it "Light" by using light mayo, sour cream and low fat buttermilk. No one even thought it was "light". Everyone raved about it!

    I LOVE Chuy's! I go every time I am in Texas. Made this dip for Superbowl Sunday and it is AWESOME!

    This recipe was amazing! I had a lot left over though so I decided to add the extra buttermilk I had (about 1/2 cup) and marinade some chicken in it! I chopped up an onion and tossed in the marinade as well. I then baked the chicken and onions and it's one of the best things I've ever made! Such a good use for the extra dip since there's so much of it!

    I made this yesterday, it was a hit, everyone liked it better than Chuy's, I thought it was close but to much ranch, I wish I would have started with one or two packets of the ranch instead of doing three. Definitely will make again. Thank YOU!!!
