Method
Step 1: Mix the base ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and ketchup. Stir until you get a smooth, creamy texture.

Step 2: Add flavor
- Add hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to blend the flavors evenly.

Step 3: Taste and adjust
- Taste the sauce. If you like it spicier, add more hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Adapt the lemon juice or salt to your personal preference.

Step 4: Chill before serving
- Transfer the sauce into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling enhances the flavor and consistency.

Notes
Serve this creamy sauce with quesadillas, grilled chicken, or burgers. It also works great as a dip for fries or onion rings.
