Ingredients

Fish Taco Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup sour cream, ⅓ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 teaspoons sriracha, 1½ teaspoons garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground cumin until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Chill the Sauce: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least two hours. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together and intensify, resulting in the best taste.
  3. Serve and Store: Use the sauce as a creamy topping for your fish tacos. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • It is essential to let this sauce chill for at least 2 hours before first using so the flavor can develop fully.
  • If you prefer a spicier sauce, try adding additional hot sauce or sriracha for an extra kick.
  • Sour cream can be substituted with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier and slightly healthier alternative.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
