  4. Mix thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and evenly combined.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning, lime juice, or hot sauce as desired.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Add chipotle powder or chipotle in adobo for a smoky, spicy twist.
  • Mix in a drizzle of honey for a sweet and spicy flavor.
  • Stir in finely chopped fresh cilantro for extra freshness.
  • Use sriracha instead of regular hot sauce for a different flavor profile.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Stir well before serving if any separation occurs.
  • Do not freeze, as the creamy ingredients may separate after thawing.
