🛒 Ingredients:
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup Greek yogurt or extra sour cream
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeño juice
• 1 fresh jalapeño, chopped
• ¼ cup pickled jalapeños
• 1 small garlic clove
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste
• Optional for More Heat
• 1 serrano pepper
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Optional for Thinner Sauce
• 1–3 tablespoons water or milk
👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Add all base ingredients to a blender or food processor.
2️⃣ Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.
3️⃣ If the sauce is too thick, thin with 1 tablespoon water or milk at a time until you reach your preferred consistency. For tacos, keep it pourable; for dipping chips, thicker.
4️⃣ Taste and adjust: add more lime juice for brightness, more jalapeño juice for tang, or more fresh jalapeño for heat.
5️⃣ Transfer to a jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavor deepens as it chills.
