Spicy Chipotle White Bean Hummus

Spicy Chipotle White Bean Hummus - Mimi's Fit Foods

Here’s another great recipe for game day!  I absolutely love the smokiness of chipotle peppers.  And, guess who loves them even more?  My hubby!  If I make anything with chipotle peppers in it, I’m bound to get all kinds of compliments for my kitchen craftiness.

This hummus is excellent.  I like hummus, but sometimes I find it to be a bit bland.  Not this one!  This one has a fabulous little kick from the chipotle peppers and the smokiness is enhanced by the cumin.  It’s a hummus with a Mexican twist.  Awesome!

It seriously takes all of 5 minutes to whip up, and it’s oh-so-good!  Add this to your healthy game day line-up. You won’t be mad about it.

Spicy Chipotle White Bean Hummus
Slightly Adapted from Damn Delicious

1 (15-ounce) can cannelloni beans (white kidneys), drained and rinsed
1-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (the more you use, the “hotter” it gets)
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

In the bowl of a food processor, combine cannellini beans, chipotle peppers, garlic, Meyer lemon juice, cumin and chili powder.  With the motor running, add olive oil in a slow stream until emulsified.

Serve with pita bread, crackers, chips, or veggies.

Serves 12.
