Chipotle Hummus

I love hummus! On sandwiches, burgers, raw veggies or corn chips. Here are two recipes. One traditional and one chipotle. You can cook your chickpeas from dry or use canned. It tastes much better to use freshly cooked chickpeas. If you use canned use water in place of the cooking liquid. These hummus recipes are my favorite from melomeals.blogspot.com Gluten-free, vegan, soy-free contains sesame seeds
