Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (substitute yogurt for lower calorie, or add mayonnaise for richness)
  • 4 tsp sriracha (or other hot sauce - start with less and add to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, and mayonnaise.
  2. Whisk all ingredients together for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and evenly combined. The sauce should have a consistent pink hue.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust the sriracha for more heat, or add a tiny bit of water (1/2 tsp at a time) if you prefer a looser, drizzling consistency for your tacos.
  4. Serve immediately over your favorite tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or as a dipping sauce for fries and chips. Enjoy!

Notes

- For a vegan pink taco sauce, substitute the sour cream and mayonnaise with plant-based alternatives. The flavor will remain fantastic.
- Adjust the heat level: Start with less sriracha and add more gradually until you reach your desired spice preference. I often find myself adding an extra dash for a bolder kick.
- Storage: Store any leftover pink taco sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It's excellent for meal prep! - If the sauce thickens in the fridge, a tiny splash of water or milk can bring it back to the perfect drizzling consistency.
