It’s creamy, rich in flavor, and perfectly balanced with the gentle heat of sriracha, making it a great addition to everything from tacos to grain bowls. The base of this dip is sour cream, combined with the bright citrus of lime, the heat of sriracha, and a blend of spices. It takes less than 5 minutes to make, stores beautifully in the fridge, and truly elevates any meal.
