A little taste of the Jord especial

As you may already know, Jord is gifted with cooking (seriously). One of Jord's favorite restaurants served this sauce and Jord couldn't convince the owner to give him the recipe. So, being the go-getter that he is, Jord played with ingredients, proportions, etc. and figured out his own custom sauce that might I say rivals Cafe Rio's green ranch sauce. People, you will fall in love. I am going to give you the secret to happiness here, his very own Jalapeño Ranchera Sauce. Enjoy!

You will need:

• 1/2 cup Mayo
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic OR 2 cloves (but no powder allowed)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon Hidden Valley Ranch powder (the stuff you use to make at-home hidden valley ranch)
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (3/4 if you like it picoso)
• 1/4 jalapeño
• 1 heaping tablespoon Crema Mexicana (this is the key to the whole recipe!)

Blend and refrigerate to desired thickness. This yields about a cup, so depending on how many people and what you are serving it with you may want to double it. This goes great with just about anything mexican! Chimichangas, burritos, Cafe Rio-type salads, fish tacos, you name it. Cramers: I had you in mind on this one, I know you'll love to try it. Let us know how it turns out!

**I added this picture because I know how it is when recipes get too exotic, but I'm here to tell you that regular creme will do just fine if you don't want to use crema mexicana :)
