Taco Bell Spicy Ranch Recipe

Taco Bell’s Spicy Ranch has this bold, creamy kick that’s totally addictive! I’ve recreated it at home, and it’s ridiculously simple to prepare, guys.
The base starts with a good-quality ranch dressing, but the magic happens when you stir in the right spices and seasonings.
Chili powder and cayenne bring the heat, while a touch of smoked paprika adds a subtle depth that makes all the difference.
I like to whisk everything together and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to develop, and trust me, it’s worth the wait!
This stuff pairs incredibly well with crispy chicken tenders, nachos, or even a homemade burrito.
