Ingredients 

  • 1 cup mayonnaiss
  • 4 tbs lime juice
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp chipotle powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ⅓ – ½ cup milk, the more milk you add the thinner the dressing will be
  • Optional – 1/8 tsp cayenne powder, the more you add in the spicer it will be

Instructions 

  • In a small bowl add all of the ingredients and whisk to combine. Place cling wrap over the bowl (or pour the dressing in a dressing container) refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. We like to pour the dressing over taco salads or you can eat it however you dream to!
