Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, sriracha, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt in a medium-sized bowl, stirring thoroughly until the mixture is velvety and consistent. Sample the sauce and adjust seasoning as desired by adding extra lime juice, sriracha, or salt for a customized taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to deepen and harmonize. This sauce remains fresh for up to five days when stored properly in the refrigerator.

Notes

This portion yields enough for approximately 12 tacos, though actual servings may vary based on individual preference. The batch amounts to roughly one cup, comfortably serving about four adults. While mild in heat, the spiciness can easily be heightened by increasing the sriracha to suit your palate.
