Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Honey or sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and sour cream using a whisk until smooth and well blended.
Add fresh lime juice, taco seasoning, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, ground cumin, honey (or sugar), salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt, lime juice, or taco seasoning if desired.
If the dressing is too thick, whisk in water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a mason jar or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Drizzle over a taco salad, use as a dip for tortilla chips, or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
