In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and whole milk. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Add the lime juice and whisk again to incorporate.
Stir in the ranch seasoning mix, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the hot sauce and chopped cilantro, stirring until combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more hot sauce for heat, lime juice for acidity, or milk for a thinner consistency.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled over salads, drizzle on tacos or wraps, or use as a dipping sauce for veggies or chips.
