Creamy Jalapeño Ranch Taco Sauce

🛒 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.
