Lately, I’ve been putting hummus on absolutely everything. It’s great with veggies and crackers (the usual suspects), fantastic on sandwiches, and it’s even good mixed in with quinoa as the “sauce.” I think I might try it mixed into my favorite mac and cheese next!
This time, I made chipotle hummus for a bit of a smoky kick. It’s easy to control the heat in this recipe by varying the amount of chipotle peppers you use, so if you aren’t a fan of spicy things, you can still enjoy this hummus with the flavor from the peppers.
With the the big game coming up, hummus is always a good idea to serve up with veggies, chips, crackers, pretzels, etc. It’s always a hit, and it’s a healthier choice, especially when you’re eating it with veggies!
This particular chipotle hummus would go great alongside guacamole on the dip spread. That’s definitely what we’ll be having! This roasted garlic hummus is also a really great hummus for dipping!
