Ingredients

Garbanzo beans - you'll need two cans of chickpeas
Garlic cloves - fresh garlic is always best. This is a key ingredient as it gives lots of flavor!
Lime juice - Use two fresh limes as it adds a nice brightness to this recipe.
Tahini paste - You can find this ingredient next to the peanut butter section.
Seasoning - you'll need kosher salt, paprika and cumin.
Olive oil - one tablespoon will do it. We don't need much and this will keep it in the healthy! The less fat the better.

How to make Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus

Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor, except for the reserved garbanzo bean juice. Pulse until the ingredients have a smooth consistency.
With the processor running add the reserved garbanzo bean juice slowly until you reach a paste consistency. Scrape down the bowl and continue to process for one minute.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, cover well and let stand until all the flavors are infused, at least 1 hour.

Preferably make one day ahead of time as it always tastes better the next day.
