All it takes is one food processor, blender, or immersion blender to make this recipe and about six ingredients. It tastes so much better if you make it yourself so are you ready to learn how you can make homemade hummus? Let’s get started!

Vegan Dip Recipe

The star of the dish is the chickpea which we will turn into easy peasy hummus with tortillas.

So if you have a can of chickpeas in the cupboard or some dried chickpeas you got the majority of the dish already.

Add some bits and pieces and you will have easy peasy hummus with tortillas. The easiest way to make this dish is with a food processor.

A blender or an immersion blender will do just fine but might take longer to puree the chickpeas. The fastest way is of course taking chickpeas from a can.

I still had a can of chickpeas in the cupboard so I used them. If you have dried chickpeas you need to put them in water overnight and remove the skin.

You also need to cook them to soften the chickpeas some more so they blend into a smooth paste.

Homemade Hummus Ingredients

To make homemade hummus you need a number of ingredients on your shopping list. What more do you need?

• Chickpeas
• Garlic
• Fresh lemon juice
• Tahini paste
• Olive oil
• Water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Tortillas

Garnish:

• Paprika powder
• Dried parsley

How To Make Hummus

Start by adding all the ingredients into the food processor and mix the ingredients until they are nice and smooth.

Add the olive oil in batches not all in one go to make sure the oil gets incorporated through the whole hummus.

If the hummus is a little thick add some water.

I usually start with two tablespoons of blend and see the result and add two more tablespoons until I am happy with the thickness of the hummus.

Add some paprika powder, chickpeas, and dried parsley for decorative purposes if you like.

To complete the easy peasy hummus with tortillas we need any type of tortillas.

You can use corn tortillas if you want to eat gluten-free, you can take corn wheat tortillas or just flour tortillas.

For this dish, I used flour tortillas. From the tortillas, I am making crackers. I dampen the tortillas with a little water so they can get nice and crispy in the pan.

Then I carve the tortillas with a knife while I heat a pan (no oil or other backing product). Put the tortilla in the pan.

Turn the tortilla frequently. Take out the tortilla and cut it into wedges. You are ready to serve the easy peasy hummus with tortillas.

How To Store Hummus

When you have leftover hummus you have several ways to store it:

• Refrigerator – you can store hummus in the fridge. Put it in an airtight food container to prevent the hummus from drying out. You can also cover the bowl with plastic wrap but I recommend storing it in a food container. You can store it for up to 5 days in the fridge. 
• Freezer – you can also store your homemade hummus in the freezer. Put it in a freezer-friendly food container for up to 2 months. If you are ready to use it let it thaw in the food container in the fridge

How to Use Hummus

It is very versatile and you have many uses for hummus:

• Dip – you can serve it as a dip alongside thinly sliced raw vegetables like carrots, cucumber, and bell pepper 
• Mayonnaise replacement – it is great to use hummus as a substitute for mayonnaise on a sandwich. It adds more flavor as well
• Butter substitute – instead of adding butter to your bread you can use hummus as well 
• Pita bread – hummus and pita bread are a great combination. You can turn the pita bread into pita chips and then dip it in hummus. So delicious!
• Falafel – yes, falafel with hummus on pita bread. A great dinner or serve it for lunch
• Wrap – use it to make this delicious hummus wrap. Fast and easy recipe
