Cilantro-Avocado-Jalapeno Hummus

This is a delicious and zesty TAHINI-FREE hummus. I have a hard time finding Tahini, so I was happy to whip this up and see that it still tastes amazing!


  • 1 can of chick peas or garbanzo beans
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 1 bunch of cilantro
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil (maybe more)
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cumin
Throw everything into your food processor or blender and puree. If mixer is too thick, you can add more olive oil to loosen it up. Also, feel free to add more salt, cumin, garlic, or lime to suit your taste. *Makes about 1 cup.

Serve immediately, or let sit in the fridge to allow flavors to "marry" a little more. Serve with pita chips, pita bread, veggies, or tortilla chips (blue corn are a great choice!). EXCELLENT party dish!!

This sounds yummy. I also love hummus but don't want to deal with tahini. Thanks for sharing.
