One of my go to snacks is hummus. I mean, dip any veggie in hummus and it’s amazing. It’s a great way to get your veggies in and have it taste good too. I love to try different kinds of hummus and I think my favorite is the chipotle flavored ones. Also, did you know hummus is so easy to make and tastes even better homemade?! Literally throw everything in your food processor or high powered blender! This chipotle lime hummus is slightly spicy, limey, and so creamy! I put this hummus on sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and even make pasta sauce with it! It’s so versatile, healthy, and delicious!

Ingredients

2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp olive oil

2 chipotle adobo peppers, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
