This spicy Sriracha Hummus is made in minutes and is cheaper then store-bought. Eat it with veggies, chips or in a sandwich.

This Sriracha Hummus is around the tenth or eleventh hummus recipe that I have created. Do I have a hummus obsession? Probably.

Am I ever going to stop creating hummus recipes? Probably not. I even have a dark chocolate hummus that tastes like a dessert but is pretty healthy.

I keep making them partly because those little 8 ounce tubs of hummus are just NOT worth their price. I also do it because hummus is one of those dips that is super easy to make, and making your own tastes better than store bought.

I have found that once you have created your own personal basic hummus recipe formula, then you have it made. Pretty much all of my hummus recipes start the same way - with the same amount of tahini, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. After that, I add whatever I want.

Ways To Use Hummus

Tips

I like things spicy. If you don't like things too spicy, start with less sriracha to see how you like it.
If you plan on serving it right away you may not want any water, especially if you use sriracha sauce instead of sriracha powder. It will thicken up a bit after refrigerating, so keep that in mind.
