Chipotle Lime Hummus Recipe
Once you make homemade hummus you’ll never want the store-bought hummus again! It takes minutes to prepare and the flavor options are endless. This Mexican version of traditional Middle Eastern hummus makes the perfect midday snack with a bit of protein. Try it—I think you’ll be hooked too! This chipotle-based hummus is fairly spicy, if you love spicy though you may want to add more of the adobo sauce and chilies (which I just kept adding over the top of my hummus because I love spicy, not everyone in my family does though. If you want it more mild just add less of the adobo and peppers). Then if you want it pretty garlicky go with two cloves in this recipe. You can adjust the ingredients to make this the best hummus for your personal taste—try different variations to find your favorites.
What You’ll Need to Make Chipotle Lime Hummus
Canned chickpeas or garbanzo beans (dried chickpeas aren’t quite as good) Lime Extra virgin Olive oil Tahini Canned chipotle chilies and sauce Garlic Cumin, coriander and paprika Salt Cilantro Pita bread or toast (for dipping) A drizzle of chili crunch oil (optional) A squirt of fresh lemon juice and lemon zest (optional) Fresh parsley (for garnish)
How to Make Chipotle Lime Hummus
Add all ingredients to a Blendtec Twister jar or food processor. Blend with a pulse until well blended and nearly smooth (it won’t be lump-free because of the chickpea skins but will still have a creamy texture). Serve in a small, shallow bowl with pita bread, chips, veggies, or your favorite crackers. Leftover hummus is great on sandwiches and wraps (use the back of a spoon to spread). You can freeze leftover hummus, but the consistency will change. You can also blend a few tablespoons with more olive oil to make your own salad dressing.
