Directions

Step 1

Add the chickpeas, tahini, jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and water to a food processor or blender.

Step 2

Pulse the mixture a few times to begin breaking up the ingredients.

Step 3

Blend or process the mixture for 3-5 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the hummus is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as desired. Add more lime juice for tanginess, jalapeño for heat, or salt to enhance flavor.

Step 5

If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped cilantro, lime zest, and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
