Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and whip it using a hand mixer or a whisk until it becomes smooth and free of lumps.
Step 2
Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and have a creamy texture.
Step 3
Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or hot sauce for extra tang or heat, if desired.
Step 5
If using cilantro, fold it into the mixture for a fresh, herby flavor.
Step 6
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a few cilantro leaves for decoration, if desired.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
