Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
1 cup green chile enchilada sauce
1/2 cup milk (I use 2% or whole)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 jalapeño chopped
1 bunch cilantro (about 1 cup)
1 clove garlic

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until very smooth and combined well.
Pour into an air-tight container (with a lid, like Tupperware) and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
* This gives time for the flavors to deepen and develop, and it thickens up the sauce slightly.
Use as a dip with tortilla chips. Topping for tacos. Dressing for taco bowls or burrito bowl. Nacho bar topping. Or a dip for taquitos. Lot's of options!

Notes

Serving Size : This recipe makes 2.5 cups of dressing. Nutrition information will change depending on serving size for each person. Nutrition information listed is for 4 tablespoons of the dip.

Jalapeño : If you want a mild heat then remove the seeds and white membrane.

Extra Spicy! : Use two jalapeños. Add some cayenne red pepper into the bender. Use hot green chile enchilada sauce. Leave the seeds and white membrane in the jalapeño.

Green Chile Enchilada Sauce : This is just the canned enchilada sauce. If you want to substitute this, you can use salsa verde or green tomatillo salsa.

Dairy Products : The lower fat dairy products you use (sour cream + milk) the thinner the sauce will be. If you use lower-fat milk then start with less because it might not take as much to get the dip to the consistency that you want because lower-fat dairy products are thinner. This recipe has been written and tested using full-fat mayo, sour cream, and whole milk.

Garlic : Use a fresh clove of garlic that has been minced/pressed. Use garlic paste from a tube (found in the refrigerated area of the produce section). Use chopped garlic from a jar.
