Smokey Chipotle Hummus

Smokey Chipotle Hummus
(1/4 cup = 166 calories or 2 Tbsp = 83 calories)

... • Two 15 ounce cans of garbanzo beans (Chick Peas) drained
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup tahini
• 3 TBS + 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 TBS olive oil
• 1 Chipolte Chili in Adobo Sauce (they come in a small can of several chili’s… you only need one!!! No more… way to spicey!)
• 1 large clove of garlic ( 1 tsp of minced garlic in the jar is what I use and is the equivalent)
• 1 ½ tsp cumin
• One 14 ounce jar of pimientos
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

• In a food processor I first lightly chop up the cilantro then place in a bowl and place to the side… then blend everything up except the pimientos. Once it’s all blended then add pimientos and cilantro. Season with salt (or sea salt is better for your health) and pepper to taste. Enjoy!!

I also make my own pita chips for dipping. I use the low carb tortilla wraps (Turmaro’s is one I’ve found that are 60 calories, 4 net carbs and 6 grams of protein!! I cut the tortialla’s into triangle pieces then place on a cookie sheet at 350 until they are crisp (around less than 10 minutes) I flip them halfway.

This is such a great low carb and high protein snack and super easy to make. Sprinkle cheat on it at your “Eat and Cheat’s” I don’t feel guilty for snacking on this one bit!!
