Mexican Hummus Recipe!

Hello!

So I created a delicious recipe I wanted to share with you all!

I named it Mexican Hummus because of it's delicious lime flavour, and cayenne and cilantro tones.
This hummus is dairy-free, and gluten-free, but most importantly GARLIC-FREE, so you can eat as much as you want without the embarrassing post-hummus bad breath!

Not only is making your own hummus easy, but it's incredibly healthy! Choose to use canned chickpeas or make your own from dried chickpeas! (The trick is to add a touch of baking soda when soaking the chickpeas- this will help keep their skins on!)




Mexican Hummus
You will need:

2 cups Chickpeas
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Organic Tahini
1/4 cup Lime Juice
1 Jalapeño (I used a White Jalapeño)
1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper


Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Blend on a low speed until mixed. You may have to stop and stir- this could be too thick for some blenders.

Garnish with a cilantro sprig, and serve with chopped vegetables, or corn tortilla chips!
