Seriously!!! I ...I love Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno! Seriously!!! I could drink it through a straw I love it so much. I no longer live in TX and have recently found out they have one in Atlanta, GA! I know!!! Tex-Mex in Atlanta! Its a 5 hour drive for me but my sister lives there so next time I visit her, we are totally going to CHUYS! <br /><br />I am definitely going to try both these recipes but am wondering, do you think they use can ingredients or fresh? Last week I made a copy cat recipe of Cafe Rio's Tomatillo Dressing from a blog called "Chef In Training" (see link to dressing below for the recipe). There were some VERY similar flavors going on in this dressing & chuys creamy jalapeno. She used an entire bunch of cilantro, 1 cup mayo and 1 cup buttermilk, 1 packet ranch, fresh tomatillos and lime juice! Hers called for garlic powder but I used fresh garlic. Her ratio of buttermilk, mayo and ranch mix, might help the thickness of your recipe. Here is the blog/recipe: http://www.chef-in-training.com/2011/10/cafe-rios-creamy-tomatillo-dressing/<br /><br />Also, during my last few visits to Chuys, I was inquiring about the ingredients of the creamy jalapeno. I was told there was onion, cilantro and lots of GARLIC! But they keep that recipe under lock and key. :)<br /><br />I will let you know after I make your version if its good enough to drink through a straw...not that I actually would.

It will take at least 7-8 times of pushing the blend button. The thing that makes it thicker or runny is the amount of jalapeno juice that you use. I usually use some of the juice from the can, but not all of it. Super yummy!!!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880967696609092140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153845121894627510.post-34921377502136434502012-02-06T10:44:59.720-06:002012-02-06T10:44:59.720-06:00Mandy, thank-you so much for these recipes!

I made both for our neighbourhood Superbowl party yesterday (I'm not native to Texas, so I feel free to interpret "Superbowl" as a food festival with some football thrown in, right?). Both were big hits. After reading your comments, I substituted half-and-half cream for the buttermilk, which probably added another 3000 calories but it was soooooo good. I think we have a new tradition now, thanks to you. :-)morecoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440925969939756215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153845121894627510.post-72777506498037585212012-02-03T09:50:35.812-06:002012-02-03T09:50:35.812-06:00I never thought of doing that!
