Litehouse makes a sesame/ginger dressing
www.litehousefoods.com/.../pr_dressings01.html

yOU CAN FIND IT AT http://www.RECIPELINK.COM IN THE COPY CAT SECTION. (C) FOR CHILI'S. THERE ARE THREE OF THEM.... NUMBERS 1059-1060 AND 1061. HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

I have a recipe that Applebee's uses on their oriental chicken salad (that's a green salad with chicken on it, not "chicken salad"), which is really good. You could easily add some grated ginger to it.

3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons rice winevinegar
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil

Hope this is close to what you were looking for!

My daughter works at Chili's and said it's called Wasabi Ranch. You can buy Wasabi sauce at the grocery store.

Chili's Crispy Chicken Salad comes with our Sesame Ginger dressing. Wasabi Ranch only comes with the Boneless Shangi Wings. and about the dressing i don't know how to make it but if you just want more of their dressing next time ya'll eat there or everytime you go in ask for a couple of to-go ramekins of the Sesame ginger dressing.

Hi,

I am looking for Chili's Ranch Dressing recipe I have tried every brand on the market and to me nothing comes close to theirs.
Can anyone help me ??

Thanks,
Michael

Lighthouse brand foods makes a sesame ginger dressing. I have found it locally in Safeway. If you cannot find it, the company does have a website. This dressing is perfect for blackened tuna and/or steak over a bed of greens and spinach. I could drink it by the glassful!

Litehouse also has a ranch dressing that comes close to restaurant quality. I also make my own, using Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Dry Mix w/ sour cream & milk.

Hi I am looking for Chili's Ranch dressing. Please email me at heidirsoileau AT yahoo.com with the subject of chilis ranch dressing if you know what is in it... thanks

My question if for Sandy, the mom of the Chili's worker. Is the wasabi ranch only used for the wings or is that the ranch they use for their salad? It is so good and I would love to find that recipe. please email me at heidirsoileau at yahoo dot com

All you need to do is either add wasabi powder or wasabi dressing to your already made ranch dressing. Shake vigorously to incorporate the wasabi with the ranch.

I work at Chilli's and we are not allowed to give out 'the company's secret'. So customer or not, you have to go through a different channel to get the recipe from scratch.

I love this dressing too. Here it is.

2 cloves garlic -- coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger -- coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Process garlic,ginger, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a food processor until well combined. Add tahini pulse until dressing appears thick. At this point, I add oil in a thin stream until dressing is emulsified. You can add water, a tablespoon at a time if the dressing is too thick.

I believe someone was looking for the Chili's Ranch dressing recipe. I worked at Chili's almost 15 years ago, back when many things were still made from scratch in the kitchen, versus the pre-made sauces they have now. The ranch was absolutely "idiot proof" simple: a jug of real mayonnaise, a couple cartons of real full-fat buttermilk, and a more-or-less generic ranch seasoning packet.

Try doing a Google search for - copycat recipes from restaurants. The problem with me is that I get so distracted I forget what I was looking for.

Well, if anyone wants to know, I think I found the Chili's Skillet Queso recipe.

1-lb Velveeta
1/2 lb ground beef
3/4 pkg Old El Paso taco seasoning
3/4 jar or 8 oz of Old El Paso taco sauce
1/2 can of tomato sauce (small can)
corn chips

Brown hamburger and drain
Mix all ingredients in crock pot
Cook on medium or high until cheese melts (about 90 minutes)
Turn heat to low for serving and Voila!

I haven't tried this yet, but I FINALLY found this recipe on another site and there were 20+ 5 star reviews and all said, "It tastes exactly like Chili's version" I sure hope it does, as I have been dinking around for years trying to perfect Chili's Skillet Queso!

A friend of mine has it in her book but I can't seem to get a hold of her.
The recipes that I'm finding on here are too basic. I remember it called for Cayenne Pepper, Cumin, ground pepper and milk and I can't find a recipe any where close to that.

My personal favorite is to take a jar of queso dip (typically tostito's) and add wolf's canned chili (no beans). That is the closet I have ever come to it.

I think it is called spanish dip and it has soup in it and enchilada sauce along with velvetta and rotel.

Ingredients

Eggroll
1 chicken breast fillet
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced red bell peppers
2 tablespoons minced green onions
1/3 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup canned black bean, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons diced canned jalapeno peppers
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
3/4 cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese
5 seven inch flour tortillas

Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup smashed fresh avocado (about half of an avocado)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1 dash dried dill weed
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash pepper
Garnish
2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped onion

Directions
Preheat barbecue grill to high heat.
Rub the chicken breast with some vegetable oil then grill it on the barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done.
Lightly salt and pepper each side of the chicken while it cooks.
Set chicken aside until it cools down enough to handle.
Preheat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the red pepper and onion to the pan and sauté for a couple minutes until tender.
Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to the pan.
Add the corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to the pan.
Cook for another 4 minutes.

Stir well so that the spinach separates and is incorporated into the mixture.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese.
Stir until the cheese is melted.
Wrap the tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high temperature for 30 seconds or until hot.
Spoon approximately one-fifth of the mixture into the center of a tortilla.

Fold in the ends and then roll the tortilla over the mixture.
Roll the tortilla very tight, then pierce with a toothpick to hold together.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have five eggrolls.
Arrange the eggrolls on a plate, cover the plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
Overnight is best.

While the eggrolls freeze prepare the avocado-ranch dipping sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl.Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees.
Deep fry the eggrolls in the hot oil for 5-6 minutes and remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes.
Slice each eggroll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate around a small bowl of the dipping sauce.
Garnish the dipping sauce with the chopped tomato and onion.
Good luck.
