Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus (recipe update)
I’m slowly, but surely making my way through some of my older recipes; to spruce up the pictures. So far I’ve updated my Cinnamon French Toast Breakfast Wrap, The Best Healthy Pumpkin Muffin and my Coconut Flour Cookies. This weekend I had a hankering for this really delicious cilantro jalapeño hummus. You see, I’m really picky about my hummus and the last few store-bought varieties I haven’t really dug. Just to be completely honest, homemade hummus is waaaaaaay tastier than store-bought.
- 2-3 small jalapeno seeded
- 2 garlic cloves
- a generous handful of cilantro, about 1 cup
- 1 15 oz can no-sodium chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup about 1 lemon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Mince jalapeno and garlic cloves in the bowl of a food processor.
- Add cilantro, chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, and salt to the food processor bowl. Process until very smooth, about 1 minute.
- Store in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
The amount of jalapenos will depend on how spicy you want your hummus. I like mine with quite a bit of kick and I use 3-4 jalapenos with seeds and ribs. 😉

The Cilantro Jalapeno Trader Joe’s Copycat Hummus is a favorite of mine. I specifically wanted to make this flavor because I was thinking it would make a wonderful alternative to salad dressing for the week.
You had me at hummus! Yes, I make my own. I just made a sundried tomato hummus that is awesome! I use photoshop. My only advice is what you’re already doing. Practice and use online tutorials. Do you use actions for editing photos?
Sun-dried tomato hummus sounds delish! I downloaded The Pioneer Woman’s free actions that I’ve played around with. Problem is…. I need more time. 🙂
Wow! Love the trader joe’s hummus too. Definitely going to have to try this one.
Let me know what you think, if you have a chance to give it a try!
I SO agree that homemade hummus is better!! I almost never buy hummus at the store. And I happen to have 3 cans of chickpeas at home – thanks for the inspiration Kim!!
Agree! I always have a stash of chickpeas on hand!! Hope you’re having a great weekend, Luci!
I’ve only made hummus once, and I loved it. I definitely want to try again!
It’s a major learning curve but you will get the hang of it! So worth the investment and feel free to email me if you need any help, my dear!
Can you believe that I’ve never actually made my own hummus?!? I actually have no idea why since it’s so ridiculously easy, but I have a feeling I’ll get around to it soon since I’m currently dealing with a serious chickpea obsession!
I always make my own hummus! No reason not to! It’s so easy and so much better
Agreed! Have you ever tried using it as a sweet potato topping? I saw that on another blog and it looked pretty tasty. Hope you’re having a great weekend, Laura!
This sounds like such a good recipe! I have been making our hummus for about three years now. It is so much fresher and tastes so much better than what you can buy!
Totally agree! I’ve been wanting to try topping my sweet potato with hummus. I saw it on another blog and it looked pretty tasty. 😉
Yum! I cannot wait to try this homemade version!
Delicious! I use my nutra bullet to make hummus. I reduce tahini to 2 Tbsps and added a little water to make everything blend smoothly. So good!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed!
