Roasted Garlic and Herb Hummus

The hummus turned out to be very creamy and smooth possibly because I added the garbanzo beans last and stirred the dip several times while blending. I ended up with a tasty and addicting hummus dip I came up with to snack on while watching football with my best friend. We couldn't get enough! For once I ran out of dip before pita bread.

Green Chili Hummus

My food adventure today... hummus!
I love Greek cuisine and being from New Mexico I absolutely love green chili, I practically put it on everything! It is also Hatch Green Chili season so outside the grocery store they are freshly roasting green chili. The smell is absolutely amazing so it's easy to see why I couldn't resist and is the reason why I decided to add a bit of my New Mexican flare to one of my favorite dips. The combination turned out to be delicious and addicting! Regardless it's still Greek to me!
