This hummus brings together the creaminess classic of hummus and the authentic tastes of Mexico. Enjoy alone or with your favorite crackers, chips, tostadas, or veggies.

This hummus with a Mexican twist was inspired by my cravings of hummus and salsa one day while getting ready to go to the beach. I was making lunch to go meet some friends. One part of me wanted the traditional hummus but the Mexican inside me wanted something spicy too. Well, why not making both? We can, right? Everything is possible.
The Mexican side won so we added jalapeno and cilantro. My love for all things naturally spicy is no secret for those around me. I have to add a bit of spiciness to many of my foods. This spicy Mexican hummus is all about that, and it makes me very happy. By the way, my friend at the beach loved it so much that I made a batch a few days later just for her.
Chickpeas, jalapeno, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and olive oil.
Store in an airtight container for about two days.

Spice up the flavor of your hummus. This spicy Mexican hummus brings together the creaminess classic of hummus and the authentic tastes of Mexico. It is a great alternative to guacamole.
In a food processor add the chickpeas, the jalapeno, the olive oil, the lemon juice, garlic powder, pepper, and begin processing. Add some water, start by adding 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the consistency you like. I added a total of 5 tablespoons of water.
Slowly add the cilantro and process for a little bit more.
Check if the consistency is what you like, otherwise you may add more water. Start by adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the consistency is perfect for you. Taste it, and add a little bit more of garlic powder, salt or pepper if you feel you need more.
Enjoy! You can have this delicious Mexican spicy hummus with tostadas or anything you like. It seriously tastes like guacamole!
