Green Chile Hummus
Inspired by my new favorite food blog find - 28 Cooks - I am on a total hummus-making kick lately. If you haven’t visited Christiane’s blog yet, I highly recommend stopping by and bookmarking. It’s the rare blog-browsing experience where you instantly want to make every single recipe posted and wish that you could jump right into the photos and take a bite.
My version of the 28 Cooks Green Chile Hummus is very similar to the original with a few key changes (see note below). Even though I’m a true-blue spiciness-phobe, I actually feel that this hummus could benefit from even more chile flavor. It’s a delicious and exceedingly palatable dip that was so good that my husband even turned down a second slice of pizza in order to eat the hummus instead!
Thanks for the culinary inspiration, Christiane! I’ll definitely be making this again and again and again…
Green Chile Hummus
Makes about 2 cups
1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans
Juice of 2 limes
1/4 c olive oil
2 (4.5 oz) cans chopped green chilies, undrained
1-2 T tahini
1 clove garlic
Salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste
1/2 tsp cumin
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Chill for an hour to allow flavors to combine.
[Note: My changes were to add garlic and tahini, use only one can of beans instead of two, and add the chilies undrained.]
Sounds perfect. I like hummus but prefer it with a kick. This version sounds ideal.

Love your variation of the green chile hummus! And you’re right - you can never have too much chili flavor!
Thanks for the high praise!

Just what I was looking for- I am having a mediteraneanish diner party tonight and was looking for a new hummus recipe to try. I think I might up the garlic a little bit- gotta love the garlic- but otherwise the recipe looks great. Do you make Fava much ever- it’s similar to hummus but uses split peas in place of chickpeas. I’ll probably be posting my recipe on my blog today or tommorrow.
Happy hummus making!
