Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 20
• 2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans
• 3 tablespoons tahini paste (well mixed)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/3 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce (canned)
• 1 chipotle pepper (canned)
• 2 roasted red peppers, seeded & skinned
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 *rinse and drain garbanzo beans. rub skins off beans with fingers and discard. this is very tedious, and you do not have to do it, but i found that it helps in making my hummus very smooth and creamy.
• 2 *place garbanzo beans in salted water, in a pot over high heat. bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes. drain and place in food processor. cool for 15 minutes.
• 3 *add remaining ingredients and blend until very smooth.
• 4 *if the mixture is dry, add a bit more water to smooth out.
• 5 *serve the hummus with soft pita bread or pita chips. i love it when still warm, but it will last for several days in the refrigerator.
• 6 *this is a great make-ahead party pleaser.
