Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 2 TBSP Tahini
  • 2 TBSP quality olive oil
  • 1 chipotle pepper (packed in adobo sauce)
  • 1.5 TBSP lemon juice
  • ½ tsp adobo sauce
  • ¼ tsp minced garlic 
  • 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 it with... pita chips, fresh pita wedges, and fresh veggies for dunking.
