Spicy Chipotle Hummus
I have cans of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce down in the pantry all of the time. Spicy and smokey, chipotle peppers are a great addition to many different dishes. Chipotle pepper is available in different forms and you can buy them dried whole or ground. I love using ground chipotle pepper as it is like a blend of smoked paprika and cayenne pepper. Chipotle peppers are also available canned in a tomato based adobo sauce. I used some of the canned chipotle peppers and a spoonful of the adobo sauce for this hummus. Blending the chipotle peppers with the chick peas and tahini makes a unique hummus. Great with crackers, pita bread or even tortilla chips, this spicy hummus is a great snack.
