I was first introduced to this Creamy Jalapeno Dip by my friend Tara who declared it the “best dip ever”. I was skeptical until I tried it, but in the end couldn’t disagree with her. It was totally addictive. Unfortunately we don’t have a Chuy’s in Canada so when she came to visit me, I decided to try and recreate it for her. I was sort of successful, this Creamy Jalapeno Dip isn’t the same as Chuy’s, I actually think it’s better. The hardcore Chuy’s fans might disagree with me though.
As with anything, I think fresh is best, so fresh jalapenos and green chiles were the only option for me. However, feel free to tried pickled jalapenos and green chiles (such as Old El Paso) but don’t bother with the salt.
Since I first tried this in Florida, I’m filing it under Food from My Travels, even though it should be filed under Highly Addictive Substance.

Oh! Chuy’s! We use to go to Chuy’s in Austin! Soooo good!
I’ll give this dip a try! It sounds great! When we went to Chuy’s we were all about the guacamole! *swoons*
The best dip ever! Better than the original. I could drink it!
I’m planning another Tex-Mex week and just popped by to grab this delicious dip! 😉
I love that you came by to tell me. You’re the best!
Aw. Of course! I think it’s nice to know that the things we do actually get read and used and appreciated.
You’re the best, actually. 🙂
