Spicy green chile ranch dip

Notes
Ingredient swaps for buttermilk
I always have mayo and sour cream on hand, but I definitely don’t keep my fridge stocked with buttermilk. If you want to skip the buttermilk, simply replace it with 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp of either vinegar or lemon juice. This adds the same creaminess and tang as buttermilk, without the extra trip to the store.
