Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpeas
- 2 TBSP tahini
- 2 TBSP quality olive oil
- 1 chipotle pepper (packed in adobo sauce)
- 1.5 TBSP lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp adobo sauce
- 1/4 tsp minced garlic
- 1/8 tsp salt
TOP IT WITH...
- 1/2 chipotle pepper, minced
- extra virgin olive oil (I used a spicy harissa one!)
- 1/8 tsp paprika, sweet or smoked
Instructions
-
In a food processor or blender, combine chickpeas, chipotle pepper, tahini, adobo sauce.
-
Blend to incorporate.
-
Scrape down the sides and add your garlic, salt, and lemon juice.
-
Blend until deliciously creamy.
-
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!
-
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.
Recipe Notes
Serve it with... pita chips, fresh pita wedges, and fresh veggies for dunking.
This chipotle hummus also makes a tasty sandwich spread!
