CREAMY JALAPENO DIPPING SAUCE



Creamy Jalapeno Dipping Sauce image

For those who love spicy appetizers! I usually have no use for any of the usual dips that are served with spicy appetizers like chicken wings. Sour cream takes the edge off the spice (which for me is defeating the purpose) but this dip is one that I can enjoy because it accents the heat as opposed to just reducing it. Sure the sour cream still reduces the bite but it has a unique kick of its own now! Bring it on!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe jalapeños for the best flavor. You can use any color of jalapeños, but green jalapeños are typically hotter than red or yellow jalapeños.
  • Deseed the jalapeños if you want a milder sauce. To do this, cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribs with a spoon.
  • Use a blender or food processor to make the sauce smooth and creamy. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can chop the ingredients finely and mix them together in a bowl.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more jalapeños for a hotter sauce, or more sour cream or mayonnaise for a creamier sauce.
  • Serve the sauce immediately or refrigerate it for later use. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Creamy jalapeño sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a kick of flavor to tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, and burgers. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chicken wings, vegetables, or chips. If you are looking for a sauce that is both flavorful and easy to make, creamy jalapeño sauce is a great option.
