Ingredients
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas drained rinsed
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 6 tablespoons Tahini sesame paste

Instructions
- Place chickpeas in a medium pot and cover with water with 1-inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, undisturbed, until chickpeas start falling apart, about 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking liquid, then drain chickpeas.
- Transfer chickpeas to a food processor or blender. Add garlic, lemon juice, tahini, chile, salt, and 2 tablespoons reserved cooking liquid and process in a food processor or blender and blend into a smooth paste. If at any point the hummus appears dry or very thick, add cooking liquid 1 tablespoon. at a time.
- With the motor running, stream in oil and process just until combined. Transfer to a medium bowl and drizzle with more oil and top with diced roasted chiles and pepitas.
- Transfer to a dish and surround spread with warm pita wedges, crackers, or crostini slices.
