I love dips, and salsa’s. Anything with tortilla chips is alright with me. So when my girlfriends took me out to a Tex Mex restaurant called Chuy’s for my good bye meal (when we moved from Houston to Salt Lake City) I just HAD to try the dip my girl friend was raving about… DUDE it was AMAZING! I think I ate an entire bowl myself. I definitely ate more dip than the entree.
As soon as I got settled in our new place I spent the next week trying a ton of different copycat recipes, mixing a few different ones together and finding PERFECTION! ALL my family loves this, my sister, parents and especially the kiddo’s! Baby Boy and The Reader can down a batch just the two of them! I NEVER make a single batch anymore, Always a double or triple batch of goodness!
The Pickled Jalapeno’s are what MAKES this dip so amazing. They are usually in the Mexican section of the grocery store, and usually there is carrot slices and onions in the can too, but I just pull out the jalapeno’s, cut off the stem and toss them into the blender. Word of warning, as you add jalapeno’s to taste I will say the dip get’s “hotter” as it get’s older. It never lasts long at my place so it’s not a big deal but if your making it early for a party or something just keep that in mind.
- 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 oz ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
- 1 4 ounce can green chilies
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp lime juice
- 1/2 bundle fresh cilantro
- 2-4 pickled jalapeños to taste
blend the mayo, milk and ranch dressing mix (aka homemade ranch dressing)
- Then add everything but the jalapeños and blend until smooth.
Once your at this stage start adding the jalapeños to taste. the flavor will get spicier over time
- Chill for a few hours or over night and serve!
- Keep refrigerated.

I like using pickled jalapeños, I like the flavor better, but regular jalapeños works too! Enjoy!

wonderful! This is a terrific dip! A note- the jalapeños gets stronger the longer it sits. So if you make it a day a head just be aware of that! I made a double batch and after a few days I had to add more ranch to cool it down a bit.
This looks awesome! I love just about any kind of dip. Giving this one a try!
If you like a bit of a kick with your dip this is the one for you! Let me know what you think when you try it!
This looks delicious! I’d like to invite you to link it up to my Recipe Exchange! It would be a wonderful addition. Hope to see you there!

Thanks! I’ll try to link up this week! My pregnancy brain is a bit frustrating right now so forgive me if I forget! Gah!
Oh my gosh – that looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it.
On an unrelated note, have you ever tried candied jalapenos? You should – they are the best thing ever.
Thanks! It’s a great dip recipe! I have never tried candied jalapeños! I’ll have ot get some, my whole family loves jalapeños, I’ll have to get them for a next reunion!
Putting pickled jalapenos on my shopping list so I can make this. It was soooo good!
yay! seriously I bring it to every gathering, it’s a favorite among our entire family now (my cousins, sisters, etc…)
Hey Ashlee. This looks and sounds DELISH! Anything with a bit of heat my family will love! If you don’t mind sharing, could you tell me what you use to make your homemade ranch dressing? Homemade is always better than the store bought stuff :p .
