- 2 tbsp Tahini
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic

- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Water

Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess starch and salt.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, chipotle peppers, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired texture.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or chipotle peppers for extra flavor.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
