Chipotle Lime Hummus

After acquiring a summer cold and not wanting to venture to the store for ingredients for a tasty bold snack, I came up with the yummy variation of hummus.   This spicy and nutritious dip is especially complemented by Stacy's Brand Baked Simply Naked Pita Chips.

I based this recipe on Goya's recipe for traditional hummus, substituting with ingredients I had on hand.  You can do the same....

Chipotle Lime Hummus

1      29 ounce can chick peas aka gabanzo beans
4      tbs olive oil
1      tbs roasted garlic
4      tbs lime juice, fresh squeezed (approx 2 limes)
1      tbs smoked chile powder (or to taste
1/2   tsp cumin, ground
2      tbs chipotle hot sauce of choice
2      tbs water, or as needed
        Salt to taste, smoked preferred

Add all ingredients into food processor or blender bowl.  Blend until smooth adding liquids to desired taste and consistency.
Plate or bowl to serve with pita bread or chips.  Garnish with basil, parsley or cilantro.




Easy, pleasy!  I wager someone will like it at your next grill out or tailgate!
Snack Happy!
