This spicy creamy Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus comes together in minutes. Why buy hummus, when it is so easy to make your own!

Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus birds eye view.

Here is my latest hummus creation - a Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus, the other hummus recipes being Chipotle Hummus and Spicy Black Bean Hummus. It's funny, I just realized that all the hummus I have created so far have some heat in them. I do like spicy foods, so I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise to me.

Of the three hummus, I would say that this is the least spicy. Yes, there is a bit of a kick, but mildly so. Of course there is jalapeño, and I added some cumin as well.

This dip would go great with my Spicy Flax Crackers, which also have jalapeño. This is a perfect dip for a party or potluck. You may want to make a double batch, because it is so good!

Hummus is about the easiest condiment that you can make. It literally takes a few minutes to make, especially once you know how you like your basic hummus, which is how I always start mine. So after I have my base ingredients, I add in the flavors that I like.

🧾 Ingredients

Garbanzo beans: Adds the texture, flavor, and creaminess hummus is known for.
Tahini: Also a traditional hummus ingredient. Adds a nutty sesame flavor.
Jalapeño: Adds a spicy flavor. If you don't like a lot of spice you could leave out the seeds and ribs or use less. For more spice you could use a serrano pepper.
Cilantro: Adds a fresh citrusy flavor. I know for some people it tastes like soap. If that's the case for you, leave it out or use fresh parsley instead.
Lemon juice: Adds a bright tart flavor.
Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
Cumin: Adds a warm spice flavor.
Water: To thin it out.
Olive oil: Adds creaminess.
Salt: Enhances the other flavors.
