- 1 teaspoon Cumin, ground

Instructions
Drain and rinse the unsalted canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl of a food processor.

Sprinkle in the ground cumin and add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
Process the ingredients until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Once smooth, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, or add more lemon juice to enhance the flavor if preferred.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for a touch of color and flavor.
