It has a spicy southwest taste with the same protein and fiber of traditional hummus. This goes great with tortilla chips or pita chips and olives.

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 :)

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