Servings 6 ounces
Equipment
- Lime juicer
- liquid measuring cup
- Mason jar with a lid
- Small whisk
Ingredients
- ½ cup sour cream full fat is best
- 1 oz fresh lime juice from 1 medium lime
- 2 to 4 tsp taco seasoning
Instructions
- First juice the lime. Cut it in half and juice it with handheld juicer or whatever you have. Catch the lime juice in a liquid measuring cup and set aside.
- Use a different measuring cup to scoop out the sour cream and place it in a clear mason jar or other container.
- Measure 2 teaspoons of the seasoning out with spoon and pour it into the jar with the sour cream.
- Pour the lime juice into the same jar with the sour cream and seasoning. Use a small whisk to stir everything together until it's well combined. Check the bottom of the jar as the sour cream there tends to settle and not get incorporated. Scrape it with your whisk or another utensil until everything is blended together.
- Taste the dressing and add more seasoning as necessary in increments of ½ teaspoon at a time. Be sure and mix as you go, then taste to see if it's to your liking.
- Once done, use immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
- For reference, I like to use 4 teaspoons of my homemade taco seasoning in this recipe.
- Makes roughly 6 ounces of dressing.
