Ingredients

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup canned green chilies drained
  • 2 teaspoons Cholula Pepper Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juiced
  • 1 large scallions thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Equipment

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, green chilies, Cholula, and lime juice.
  • Stir in the scallions, then season with salt and black pepper.
  • Mix well until fully combined and creamy.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning or hot sauce to your liking.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld (or serve immediately if you're hungry and impatient).

Notes

  • No sour cream? Use plain Greek yogurt for a tangier, protein-rich option.
  • Want more heat? Add extra Cholula or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Make it ahead: Stores well in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Use it on everything: Drizzle on tacos, fajitas, grilled shrimp, roasted veggies, or spoon it into burrito bowls.
