Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp ketchup or tomato sauce (for a little sweetness)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for that grill-meets-kabob vibe)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp lime juice or a dash of vinegar
  • Pinch of cayenne or hot sauce (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  • Grab a small bowl and scoop in the mayo and sour cream. Stir until smooth and cozy together.
  • Add ketchup, lime juice, and the dry spices. Mix until you’ve got a uniform, tongue-tingling color.
  • Taste it. If it needs a zing, add a tiny splash of hot sauce or another pinch of cayenne. No shame in extra heat if that’s your jam.
  • Cover and chill for 10–15 minutes. Quietly waiting is half the kitchen romance, right?
  • Give it one final stir and serve with warm quesadillas. Dip, scoop, or drizzle—your choice, chef.
