Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp water (as needed)
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp extra olive oil (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under running water to remove excess sodium.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and kosher salt.
Process the ingredients until they are somewhat smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
While the food processor is running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil to help create a creamy texture.
Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. Continue blending until completely smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. You can add more salt, lemon juice, or chipotle peppers for extra spice.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle olive oil on top and garnish with chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or tortilla chips. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
