Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus
Prep time
Total time
I call this my southwestern hummus-it's my alternative to salsa. The cilantro and jalapeno really bring out the southwest flavor and add a little kick to the nutty tahini flavor.

Notes
Tasty Tip
For a spicy kick, include the jalapeño seeds when blending. They contain most of the heat that's in a jalapeño pepper.
