Ingredients Needed to Make This Recipe

A detailed list of ingredients is provided in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Garbanzo Beans: also known as chickpeas. Rinsed and drained.
Tahini: a paste made from ground sesame seeds. You should be able to find tahini in the grocery store near other condiments or in the international food section.
Chipotle Chilies and Adobo Sauce: the chipotles should be minced so that the food processor can break them down small without over blending the chickpeas.
Garlic: quartered
Sices: ground cumin, coriander, paprika
Lime: always use fresh juice
Oil: extra virgin olive oil
Seasoning: Kosher salt, to taste
Cilantro: chopped for garnish (optional)

How To Make Chipotle-Lime Hummus

In a food processor or blender, add all the ingredients EXCEPT the olive oil and lime juice. Pulse a few times to chop up the chickpeas.
With the motor running, pour in the olive oil and lime juice; process until a smooth paste forms.
Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl, topped with more olive oil, adobo sauce, and chipotle chilies if desired. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and add lime wedges on the side.
Serve with pita or tortilla chips, and for an even healthier snack serve with veggies.

How to Store Hummus
