Ingredients

30 Ounces Garbanzo Beans (2 Cans) drained and rinsed
¾ Cup Cilantro chopped
2 Jalapenos seeded and finely diced
½ Cup Olive Oil
3 Tablespoon Lime Juice
2 Garlic Cloves minced
½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Drain the garbanzo beans/chickpeas and rinse under cold water.
Add the garbanzo beans to a food processor along with the minced garlic and salt. Pulse several times to finely chop then scrape the sides, add the lime juice and pulse a couple more times.
Scape the sides of the bowl again then run the food processor on low while you slowly add the olive oil. Once all of the oil is added, scape the sides of the bowl and add the diced jalapenos and chopped cilantro.
Pulse a few times to combine well or run the food processor a bit longer for a smooth consistency.
For a smoked version, spread the hummus in a well-oiled cast iron pan or oven proof dish. Smoke over indirect heat at 225-250 degrees for 30-45 minutes.
To enjoy warm, dig right in. For a cold smoked hummus, move to a bowl and cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
