Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Provides creaminess and tanginess; Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter version.
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise Enhances creaminess; consider using reduced-fat mayo for a lighter option.
  • 1 juice Lime Adds acidity and brightness; use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder Adds depth of flavor; adjust according to your heat preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder Offers a savory note; fresh garlic can be substituted but use less.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; sea salt or kosher salt works well.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Fish Taco Sauce
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add one cup of sour cream and a quarter cup of mayonnaise. Squeeze in the juice of one fresh lime for a bright, tangy flavor. Use a spatula to fold these ingredients together until they're fully incorporated and creamy.
  2. Sprinkle in one teaspoon of chili powder and half a teaspoon of garlic powder. If you like a little kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste. Gently whisk the ingredients together until everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Next, season the sauce by adding half a teaspoon of salt. Taste the sauce after mixing to adjust the saltiness if necessary.
  4. If the sauce is too thick, add more lime juice. If it's too thin, incorporate an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise. Whisk again until smooth.
  5. Transfer your Fish Taco Sauce into a clean glass jar or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve it generously over fish tacos, or as a dip for sweet potato fries.
