- 1 can chick peas, well drained
- 2 med ripe avocados, cored and peeled
- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1 1/2 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp cumin
- 1 - 2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro leaves, for topping
- Red pepper flakes, for topping
Pulse chick peas, olive oil, tahini, lime juice, and garlic in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I did a scant 1/2 tsp salt and about 1/8 tsp pepper), add cumin and avocados and pulse mixture until smooth and creamy, about 1 - 2 minutes longer.
Serve topped with more olive oil if desired and sprinkle with cilantro and red pepper flakes. Serve with pita chips or tortilla chips.
