Ingredients
- 15 oz. garbanzo beans canned
- 3 Tbsp. aquafaba or less
- 1/4 cup lime juice about 2 limes, or lemon juice, fresh
- 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
- 2-4 Tbsp. tahini
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce seeds removed
- 1/2 tsp. adobo sauce
- 1/8 tsp. salt (more/less to taste)
- jalapeño optional
- garlic
- cilantro
- nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Open the can of garbanzo beans and reserve 3 Tbsp. aquafaba.* Then rinse and drain garbanzo beans.
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. (Start with about 1-2 Tbsp. aquafaba and add more if desired.) Blend until creamy, about 20-30 seconds. Taste and adjust flavors if desired.

Notes
- *Aquafaba: This is the thick liquid in the can of garbanzo beans. Use as much or as little to achieve desired consistency.
- **Tahini: Use 2 Tbsp. for a lower-fat version, or up to 4 Tbsp. for a classic rich & creamy version.
- ***Chipotle peppers: Start small and handle carefully. (I use a fork to help maneuver.) A little chipotle goes a long way, so add it according to your taste. If you're unsure, start with a half chipotle pepper (or even less) and go from there.
- Oil-free option: Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce include a tiny amount of oil. If you are refined oil-free, look for jarred chipotle peppers or just omit them and replace with ground chipotle powder instead. (Start small because it's strong.)
- Mild version: Omit chipotle pepper. (You can still include adobo sauce for some warm, smokiness if desired.)
- Optional toppings: Pico de gallo, diced tomato, cooked sweet corn, avocado, fresh cilantro, onion, green onion, etc.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups hummus.
