Jalapeno Lime Ranch

Every year, I make a Mexican Fiesta for my mom's birthday. We started this tradition years ago...Mexican food is actually its own food group in my family. I make a spread that covers our island and stove and everyone can make whatever they want...tacos, salad, nachos or a "sampler platter" (ha!)

A few years ago, I added this Jalapeno Lime Ranch and it took the whole meal up a notch. I'm not sure what it is...dressing, dip, a sauce to pour over everything on your plate? Whatever it is, we love it. And here's how I make it (plus a list of everything I make every year...no need to reinvent the wheel!).

Jalapeno Lime Ranch 

1 (1 oz) packet dry Ranch dressing mix

1/2 cup EACH: mayonnaise, some cream & buttermilk 

Juice 1 Lime

1 whole garlic clove

1/2 bunch cilantro leaves  

4 oz. Can diced jalapenos, not drained 

Place all ingredients in the food processor and pulse until chopped and thoroughly mixed. Cover and chill for a few hours. Serve with chips, tacos, rice...anything really. 

Everything I serve for our Fiesta meal:

Shredded lettuce 

Taco beef

Mexican Crockpot Chicken

Rice

Tortillas 

Tortilla chips

Queso

Red salsa

Black Bean salsa 

Sour cream

Monterey Jack cheese (Shredded by hand...yes it matters...)

Sour cream

Guacamole 

Sliced picked jalapenos
