Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) roasted red peppers, jarred or homemade
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2–3 tablespoons water, to adjust consistency
  • 1 bag (about 8 oz / 225 g) blue corn chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas to remove excess salt and starch. Optionally peel chickpeas for a creamier texture.
  2. Place chickpeas and roasted red peppers into the food processor bowl. Pulse a few times to start breaking them down.
  3. Add tahini, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Pulse until combined.
  4. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify and add richness.
  5. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, while blending until desired creamy consistency is reached. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, lemon juice, or smoked paprika if desired.
  7. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld, stirring before serving.
  8. Serve with blue corn chips arranged alongside for dipping.

Notes

For creamier hummus, peel chickpeas before blending. Roast fresh red peppers for deeper smoky flavor. Add water gradually to control consistency. Use fresh lemon juice for brightness. Tahini can be substituted with Greek yogurt or sunflower seed butter for dietary needs.
