- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a blender or food processor, combine the sour cream, cilantro leaves, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, ground black pepper, and jalapeño (if using).
Blend the mixture until smooth and well-combined. Scrape down the sides of the blender or processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Transfer the cilantro sour cream to a serving bowl or an airtight container if storing for later use.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
