# What you need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 - 1 cup mayonnaise
02 - 1/2 cup buttermilk, plus extra for thinning

# How to make it:
01 - Whisk together the mayonnaise and buttermilk in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined.
02 - Pour in the hot sauce and ketchup, then whisk thoroughly to incorporate.
03 - Add the ranch seasoning mix, taco seasoning, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully incorporated and the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
