Chipotle Hummus

Chipotle hummus blends smooth chickpeas with smoky chipotle pepper and creamy tahini to create a slightly spicy and rich dip. The adobo sauce adds depth while fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor. The texture is creamy and thick, perfect for dipping or spreading. A topping of minced chipotle, olive oil, and paprika adds an extra smoky touch and visual appeal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 2 TBSP tahini
  • 2 TBSP olive oil quality
  • 1 chipotle pepper packed in adobo sauce
  • 1.5 TBSP lemon juice
  • ½ tsp adobo sauce
  • ¼ tsp garlic minced
  • ⅛ tsp salt
TOP IT WITH...
  • ½ chipotle pepper minced
  • extra virgin olive oil (I used a spicy harissa one!)
  • ⅛ tsp paprika sweet or smoked

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a food processor or blender, combine chickpeas, chipotle pepper, tahini, adobo sauce.
  2. Blend to incorporate.
  3. Scrape down the sides and add your garlic, salt, and lemon juice.
  4. Blend until deliciously creamy.
  5. Dive in with a pita chip for a taste-test and add more of your favorite ingredients if desired [more oil or tahini will thin out the hummus, more chipotle pepper will add heat and smoky flavor and more lemon juice will add some zest to the dip] - the above measurements were my idea of hummus perfection! Love it so!
  6. To fancily, top with half of a chopped chipotle pepper, a hearty drizzle of your favorite olive oil [I broke out the harissa-infused evoo for mine! Yum!] and a sprinkling of paprika.

Notes

  • Serve chipotle hummus with pita chips, fresh pita wedges, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
  • This hummus also works well as a sandwich spread for added smoky flavor.
