Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 2 medium green chilies, roasted and peeled
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 small garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, optional for garnish
- 1 serving tortilla chips or vegetable sticks, for serving
Instructions
If using fresh green chilies, roast them over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are charred. Place them in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and set the chilies aside.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, roasted green chilies, tahini, minced garlic, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and kosher salt.
Pulse the mixture a few times to break everything down.
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and cold water. Blend until the hummus is smooth and creamy. Add an additional tablespoon of water at a time if needed to reach desired consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
Serve the Green Chili Hummus Dip with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or your favorite dippers. Enjoy!
