Jon's Secret Taco Topper

This is some good stuff. And now, not so secret. But doesn't it sound so much cooler to act like I'm letting you in on some super big secret? Yeah, it does. This sauce is a refreshing addition to tacos, and you can dip your tortilla chips in the remaining sauce.

What You'll Need:
Sour Cream
Lime Juice (Fresh, please. That little green bottle that looks like a lime is just lame.)
Any or all of the following, chopped or diced:
Cilantro
Green Onion
Tomato
Chili powder
*No precise measurements?! Use as much or as little as you want.*

What You'll Do:
1. Chop or dice the veggies. We always use cilantro. Green onion makes it into the mix often. Sometimes a tomato finds its way in.
2. Scoop some sour cream into a bowl.
3. Squeeze the juice of a lime (or two) into the sour cream.
4. Add your veggies. Add chili powder, if desired.
5. Stir.

*UPDATE - This sauce is best with just sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, and chili powder. It's simpler. And wonderful. But by all means, if you want to go crazy with veggies, be my guest.*

The goal of this sauce is to be somewhat runny. If the lime juice doesn't make it quite thin enough, add small amounts of water, stirring until it is the desired consistency.
