Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream

1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method

Step 1: Combine the Base Ingredients

Add the mayonnaise and sour cream to a medium mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Add the Flavorings

Mix in the lime juice, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Whisk Until Smooth

Whisk everything together until the sauce is completely blended and has a silky texture.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add extra lime juice for more tanginess or a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.

Step 5: Chill Before Serving

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to blend together and creates the best taste.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Use as a sauce for tacos, burritos, burgers, nachos, fries, wraps, or grilled chicken.

Notes

The sauce may taste flat immediately after mixing. Letting it chill for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors fully develop.
