Making hummus is so fun. You take some garbanzo beans, tahini and olive oil then add whichever ingredients your heart desires! I love a kick of spice in my dips so adding jalapeños was a no brainer.
I used three whole peppers in this recipe but it’s not because I have a cast iron stomach, they were just pretty mild. I recommend taking a little nibble to gage the heat first then add in between one and three jalapeños.
You can make this a day ahead, just make sure to cover well and refrigerate. These often taste even better when all the flavors have melded together a bit.
