CREAMY JALAPENO SAUCE



Creamy Jalapeno Sauce image

This not so healthy, but oh so good, sauce is great with almost anything! Especially good with fried foods, but also works with tortilla chips (hmmmm... those are fried, too, huh?) and vegetables. It has a kick, but you could omit one of the jalapenos to tone it down.

Steps:

  • 1. First, make the sauce because it will need to chill for an hour for flavors to develope. Take a small bowl, add all sauce ingredients and stir well to combine. Cover and let chill for 1 hour, so the flavor of the spices can blend.
  • 2. Cook chicken, you can fry it or even boil it. Chop and shred the chicken, and season it with seasoned salt or salt and pepper.
  • 3. Take large skillet, pour oil in so the outside of burrito can get crunchy. Take burrito and spread your sauce on top, add cheese to one half of the burrito, and then top with chicken. Place in hot oil, fry, and flip one side over like an omlet, fry until crispy and light brown. Continue with other burritos.

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!
