1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 teaspoon lime zest

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise.
Stir in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest until well blended.
Add garlic powder, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled—perfect for drizzling on tacos, spreading on grilled meats, or using as a dip.

Spicy variation: Add 1 finely chopped jalapeño for heat.

Dairy-free option: Use plant-based sour cream and mayo alternatives.

Thinner consistency: Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of water or lime juice.

Bold garlic flavor: Replace garlic powder with 1 minced garlic clove.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before each use. Best served cold.
