- 1/4 cup tahini
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Generous pinch of salt

- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the tahini, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk all the dry and wet ingredients together until fully blended.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking, until the sauce reaches a thick, creamy consistency similar to a salad dressing or crema.
- Serve: Use the sauce immediately as a dip, salad dressing, or drizzle it on top of tacos or your favorite dishes for extra flavor and zest.
Notes
- If the sauce is too thick, continue adding water 1 teaspoon at a time to achieve desired consistency.

- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
