I’m a big fan of hummus – have been since I was a kid, but
it wasn’t until my late teen years that I started to experiment with flavored
hummus. I’ve only ever tried roasted red
pepper hummus and garlic hummus before I was introduced to the fabulous flavor
combinations at Trader Joe’s. I’ve
posted about their Horseradish Hummus which is a slam dunk – but my taste buds
were looking for something new. I saw
this Chipotle Pepper Hummus and
decided to give it a shot. I’ve had a bad experience with a Mexican soup with chipotle
pepper in it, but putting that experience aside, I figured it couldn’t be SO
overly spicy that it’d be killer because hummus itself is very strong and helps
mute flavors.
I first opened the hummus and was surprised by the texture. It
wasn’t as “smooth” as most hummus’ appear in their container. I added the two tablespoons onto a tortilla
wrap to enjoy with a sandwich and tried it first. It definitely has a mild smoky flavor, with a
subtle hint of spice in the background. It’s packed with flavor and totally
delicious. But I will say the consistency
is very light and airy. It’s not as thick and heavy as most hummus’ tend to be.
As with most hummus’ a serving is 2 tablespoons, which is
quite a generous serving. A serving is
50 calories, or 1 points plus value. I’ve quite enjoyed this hummus and I’ve
used it on sandwiches as a replacement to condiments such as mayonnaise and
mustard. It’d also be perfect with some
crackers or even some fresh veggies to dip into it.
