Homemade Avocado Hummus

Homemade Avocado Hummus

Who knew you could make your own hummus!  Wait!  You mean I don't have to buy the $5 tubs of fatty, oily and salty hummus at the grocery store?  HECK NO!  You can make it yourself for $2 and make it BETTER!

I use my hummus for EVERYTHING!!  I make wraps with it, dipping celery and carrots and dipping my chicken in it!  I also buy those mini dipping cups from Target.  Perfect to portion out for quick and easy snacks.  
  
I don't cook with measurements.  I always go by how I feel when I cook.  I challenge you to do that too!  If you can't, here are approximate measurements!


Here's what you'll need!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (15 oz) can chick peas or garbanzo beans, well drained
• 2 medium ripe avocados, cored and peeled (13 oz before cored and peeled)
• 3 Tbsp olive oil, or more if while it mixes it slows down b/c it's dry
• 1 1/2 Tbsp tahini
• 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp cumin

DIRECTIONS:

• Pulse garbanzo beans or chick peas in a food processor along with minced garlic, tahini and oil.
• Add PINCH of salt, pepper, cumin and avocado and pulse again!
• Voila!!!  You have your own hummus!
• You can leave out the avocado and make regular hummus
• Top with a little pepper flakes and oil if you want
