Description

Creamy Mexican-inspired Fish Taco Sauce blends zesty lime, tangy sour cream, and spicy sriracha into a mouthwatering condiment. Drizzled over crispy fish tacos, this quick sauce elevates your meal with bold, balanced flavors that dance across your palate.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) sour cream

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sriracha sauce

Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, sriracha, and garlic powder in a mixing vessel until thoroughly blended.
  2. Sample the mixture, introducing additional lime juice for tang, extra sriracha for heat, or salt to enhance overall flavor profile.
  3. Allow sauce to rest in refrigerator, permitting ingredients to harmonize and develop deeper, more integrated taste.
  4. Transfer to sealed container and preserve in cold storage, maintaining optimal freshness for approximately five days.

Notes

  • Elevate the sauce’s tanginess by using fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, more vibrant flavor profile.
  • Customize heat levels by gradually adding sriracha, tasting as you go to achieve your perfect spice balance without overwhelming the other ingredients.
  • Experiment with alternative creamy bases like Greek yogurt or Mexican crema for different dietary needs or to adjust the sauce’s richness and texture.
  • Allow the sauce to rest in
