I guess you can say my all time favorite food is Mexican, and my all time favorite Mexican restaurant is Chuy's. (Not sure where it is all located, but they are in Texas!) Specifically, Chuy's chicka chicka boom boom. I have no idea why it is named that, probably just to hear people order it. To me, it tastes like a yummy sour cream / jalapano, green chili sauced enchilada, or something.
I came across this recipe, and it sounded like maybe it would be close, so I gave it a try. Jason and I tend to make fun of chef's on cooking shows who are in love with the food they taste test, while cooking. All the oo-ing and ah-ing. Well, I have never had a recipe make me want to scream for joy! I was all by myself, and I took a bite, and it tasted just like the chicka chicka boom boom from Chuy's! Oh the excitement!!! Noah thought I was weird talking to my food... I may make this once a week now... Jason wasn't too sure about that idea, although he did like it!

Here is a review on shrimp enchiladas with jalapeno cream sauce:
RESULT: 4 out of 4 stars!! Spicy with all the jalapenos.
WILL I MAKE AGAIN? You. Bet.
CHEF'S NOTES: I just used this recipe for the sauce. (I don't like shrimp too much) I also used pickled jalapenos, because the UK doesn't have fresh ones. It tasted great! I then cooked chicken chunks, with sauteed onions and garlic for the filling. With freshly made salsa, it tasted even more like Chuy's! Enjoy!

those look so yummy! i am going to try that recipe and compare it to my sour cream enchiladas! also, tesco has both green and red chili peppers(what we call jalepenos are the green ones, obvs). i even get them delivered so they should be at most of the bigger stores. did you make the beans, too? i love refried beans but have never made them. missed y'all last week. hope to see you sunday! rachel
