Fried Onions with Chipotle Lime Ranch

Start off by making the ranch and putting in the fridge to thicken (blend buttermilk, Mayo, sour cream, garlic or garlic powder, Dijon, adobo sauce, Chipotle peppers, chopped cilantro, diced chives, sugar, salt, pepper, and lime juice). Next slice and set aside the onions. Then pour the tempura mix into a bowl, adding cold beverage while mixing until you get a thick smooth batter (should take about 1 3/4 cup liquid). Then add a 1/4 cup cilantro and 2-3 minced chipotle peppers to the batter and mix. Start heating your oil to 350F degrees. While the oil heats, mix the onions into the batter. Once the oil is ready, take big pinches of the battered onions, shake off excess batter and slowly place into the oil. Cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Enjoy with the ranch!
