How to Make Southwest Sauce For Poppers Ala Arby's

Roast 1 whole head of garlic until soft and caramelized (approx. 45-60 min at 400°F/200°C).
Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins.
In a blender or food processor (Immersion preferred!), combine the roasted garlic, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and the juice of 1 lime.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more chili powder for heat, lime juice for tanginess).
Serve immediately with your favorite poppers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
