Creamy, spicy and tangy Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus - a perfect knock off of the Trader Joe's classic!
Ingredients
  • 1 - 15 oz can garbanzo beans, also known as chick peas
  • ⅓ cup water from the beans
  • 1.5 tablespoons tahini - fairly readily available at most supermarkets
  • 2 limes (or lemons if you like it less tangy)
  • 2 small cloves of garlic, diced
  • 1-2 jalapeno peppers, roughly chopped (1 for mildly spicy, 2 for a nice kick)
  • ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, if you like it extra spicy)
Instructions
  1. Pulse the tahini paste together with the juice of the limes.
  2. Drain the water off the beans into a cup. Rinse and drain the beans.
  3. Add all the ingredients into the food processor.
  4. Pulse/blend until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Dip a spoon in periodically to taste and adjust seasoning. *Note: You can add about a tablespoon or two of olive oil to make your hummus creamier but I find that I never need it.
  5. Serve with the chip or veggie of your choice... and enjoy!
