# What You'll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 - 1 cup mayonnaise
02 - ½ cup buttermilk, plus more as needed
→ Flavorings
03 - 2 teaspoons hot sauce
04 - 1 teaspoon ketchup

06 - 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
07 - ½ teaspoon paprika
08 - ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
09 - ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
10 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt
11 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
# How To Make It:
01 - Whisk together the mayonnaise and buttermilk in a medium bowl until smooth and thoroughly combined.
02 - Pour in the hot sauce and ketchup, whisking continuously to incorporate evenly.
03 - Add the ranch seasoning mix, taco seasoning, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully blended and creamy throughout.
04 - Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if desired. For a thinner consistency, add additional buttermilk one tablespoon at a time. For a thicker dip, reduce the buttermilk to ¼ cup initially.
