Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium and any canning liquid.
- Step 2: Blend the Base - In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, garlic cloves, tahini, chipotle spice, and lime juice.
- Step 3: Process Until Smooth - Pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water or additional olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
- Step 4: Taste and Adjust - Give your hummus a taste test! Adjust the seasoning if necessary—add more lime juice for acidity or chipotle spice for heat.
- Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, sprinkle with extra chipotle spice, and serve with fresh veggies, pita chips, or your favorite snacks. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For optimal freshness, add lime juice just before serving.
- Freeze in an airtight container, leaving space for expansion, and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
