Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and whip it using a hand mixer or a whisk until it becomes smooth and free of lumps.
Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and have a creamy texture.
Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or hot sauce for extra tang or heat, if desired.
If using cilantro, fold it into the mixture for a fresh, herby flavor.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a few cilantro leaves for decoration, if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
