Make the creamy, zesty sauce found in Taco Bell’s chicken quesadillas at home using simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Combine the mayonnaise, water, sour cream, and white vinegar in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the bowl.
  3. Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and uniform in color.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust salt or vinegar as needed for your preference.
  5. Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
  6. Use this sauce inside your quesadillas or serve it as a dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For a slightly thinner sauce, add water one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • If you want a bit of heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
  • This sauce works well on burritos or as a topping for taco salads.
