By: Gaia029
yes you can definitely add some Greek yogurt instead of sour cream :)
By: dedemed
this looks yummy!! think I will try some greek yogurt instead of the sour cream just to keep it as low cal as possible! what do you think?
By: tkdartistmom
great idea!
By: dedemed
Quick suggestion: Instead of corn chips, why not tortilla de harina (flour tortilla ) chips? Since you made the hummus taste more Mexican, why not take the Mexican tortilla and make it taste more like a pita? =D Love your site and videos.

Yes, definitely, the taste of the garlic will not be as strong and it adds a bit of sweetness to the garlic when you roast it :)
By: dedemed

Would roasting the garlic take away any of the bold flavor? I love garlic, raw and roasted. Thanks
