I kinda love spicy foods and sriracha is kinda one of my favorite things on the planet. When I realized it was National Hot Sauce Day, I immediately thought I would make hummus, especially since the husband asked what kind of snacks we had in the house last night after I went to the store and didn't get any snacks. OOPS! Hummus is literally the easiest thing to make and there's no reason to ever buy store-bought. The best thing about hummus is that it's super versatile. Since this recipe was inspired by National Hot Sauce day, I naturally made a sriracha hummus and topped it with chopped black olives, queso fresco, cilantro and Cholula jalepeno hot sauce because that's another one of my favorites! This would make a great appetizer for Taco Tuesday tomorrow;)
INGREDIENTS
1 Can garbanzo beans
Juice of 1 lime
1 large garlic clove
1 1/4 tsp sriracha
Cholula hot sauce (green)
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp water
Drizzle of olive oil
Black olives finely chopped
Cilantro
Queso fresco
DIRECTIONS
Add garbanzo beans, garlic, lime juice, salt, sriracha, water and drizzle of olive oil to a food processor and blend until smooth. You'll want to stop half way through and scrap down the sides with a spatula.
Scoop into a container of your choice and top with black olives, cheese, cilantro and Cholula.
Serve with pita chips or raw veggies.
