I still remember the first time I made this Chipotle Feta Hummus. I made it for my then-boyfriend, now husband, and he absolutely loved it. So I figured I’d make a batch for my brother and my dad for a visit we were having with them when we all still lived in Michigan. I brought a big bowl of it for a football game and told my dad I made chipotle feta hummus and he looked at me like I had four heads. He ended up trying it even though he thought I was a weirdo and absolutely loved it, and nowadays he makes his own hummus!
I make my hummus in a food processor, but you can also make it in a blender or even in a mini processor if that’s what you have. The best advice I can give you when making hummus (or anything at all) is to taste, taste, taste! Blend it all up and dip a cracker and add more of what you think is missing. I like my hummus with extra lemon juice and a few pinches of cayenne pepper. You might prefer something totally different so don’t be scared to taste it while you make it and then make it your own.

Chipotle Feta Hummus Recipe
Drain the chickpeas and pour them into a large bowl.
Add your chopped chipotle peppers, Tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and adobo sauce.

I usually serve this hummus with crackers and some chopped veggies.
