March 4, 2015 Mango Chipotle Hummus

Sweet & spicy, this mango chipotle hummus is a super fun take on the classic dish! Packed with fresh mango puree, tahini, olive oil and chipotle peppers, it’s delicious served with veggies or chips. Dairy free, gluten free and vegan.

This chipotle hummus looks all unassuming, am I right? It’s pretending like it’s just regular ol’ hummus without any bells or whistles. But it’s sneaky like that.

Because when you take a bite? Oh yes, you will be certain that it is absolutely not regular hummus. And is in fact a little somethin’ special.

So the idea for this hummus came after we ate a slightly ridiculous amount of the Roots brand mango sriracha hummus week after week. After week.

We absolutely love their hummus (<— not sponsored! I just really love it – especially since it’s a North Carolina company ♥).

But every time I bought it the husband would mention how he wished it was chipotle instead of sriracha.

I finally decided maybe there was something to his idea and that I should give it a whirl. Just in case he was onto something. I will begrudgingly admit – he was right.

This hummus is slightly sweet from the mango but you also get this sort of surprise kick from the spicy, smoky chipotle. We’ve been blowing through a batch every week.

Tips & Tricks For This Chipotle Hummus

The flavors really really come out as this hummus sits. While it is certainly delicious freshly made, I’d highly suggest letting it chill in the fridge for at least a few hours before enjoying. The mango and chipotle get much more prominent if you let it meld and get all groovy together. Also, more of just an FYI, but when pureeing the mango I would use a smaller food processor to get it nice and smooth since it’s only a small amount (or just use the small work bowl that comes with the larger food processors. Of course I somehow lost my small bowl, so I use two food processors to make this since it won’t all quite fit in my small one). I’ve never made hummus in my blender before, but I imagine that would also work as well.
