Ingredients

Spices

  • 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped


Instructions

  1. Mix spices: In a small mixing bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Combine sauce ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the prepared seasoning mixture together with the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, white vinegar, light olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, and chopped cilantro until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Chill and store: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate. Let it chill for optimal flavor. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor boost.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper quantity to control the heat level.

  • Make sure to store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Can be made a day ahead to let flavors meld even more.
