Chuy’s Green Chili Sauce Ingredients:
Our copycat Chuy’s deluxe tomatillo sauce has the perfect spice and tang. You’ll love how easy my deluxe tomatillo sauce recipe is. I tried to keep the original flavors intact using minimal ingredients.
You can enjoy it with enchiladas, burritos, flautas, grilled meat, and many other Tex-Mex dishes. Let’s know about the ingredients of this oh-so-flavorsome sauce in detail.
Canned Green Chilies:
Canned green chilies are roasted and peeled to add a very mild flavor to any dish. 1 (4 ounces) can of green chilies makes our Chuy’s sauce not only hot and spicy but also sweet and crispy.
Canned Tomatillos:
Tomatillos are small green citrus fruits that have juicy flesh. These are used to make sauces for tacos, enchiladas, tamales, etc. I used 1 ½ cups of canned tomatillos to add tanginess to the Chuy’s green chile sauce.
Onion:
Onion is used in many sauces for its bittersweet taste. I cut 1 white onion into large chunks and used it in the tomatillo sauce.
Garlic:
Garlic is a powerful herb that has a spicy, pungent taste. I smashed 4 Garlic cloves and used them in our spicy tomatillo sauce.
Margarine:
Margarine is plant fat used in sauces so the sauce does not get congealed when cooled down. I used 4 tablespoons of margarine in our copycat Chuy’s sauce.
Chicken Stock:
Chicken stock is a thick liquid gained from simmering chicken bones for a long time. I used 1 cup of chicken stock in the recipe.
Cilantro Leaf:
Cilantro leaf has a peppery, pungent, and slightly citrus taste. I used ¼ cup freshly chopped cilantro in the recipe.
Heavy Cream:
Heavy cream acts as a base for our sauce and adds the needed creaminess. I used ½ cup heavy cream in the recipe.
Salt:
Salt suppresses the bitterness of chilies and tomatillos. Use 1 teaspoon or according to taste.
Sugar:
Sugar balances out all the spicy and tangy flavors. 1 teaspoon sugar will be enough for the recipe.
Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice adds a nice citrusy kick to our Chuy’s deluxe tomatillo sauce. 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice is needed for the recipe.
Black Pepper:
Black pepper gives our sauce a robust, spicy flavor. Do not use more than ½ teaspoon as black pepper is strong in flavor.
