Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup buffalo hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (for creamier, milder hummus)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse your canned chickpeas thoroughly. Optional: remove the skins by gently pinching each chickpea for an ultra-smooth texture.
  2. Blend the Base Ingredients: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
  3. Add Buffalo Sauce: Gradually pour in the buffalo hot sauce while blending after each addition. Continue until the desired spice level is reached to give the hummus its signature spicy kick.
  4. Adjust Consistency and Flavor: If the hummus is too thick, add a little water or more olive oil to loosen it. Taste and adjust salt, lemon juice, or buffalo sauce to achieve the perfect balance of heat and brightness.
  5. Chill and Serve: Transfer the Buffalo Hummus to a serving bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and deepen.

Notes

  • Use a quality buffalo sauce to ensure the best flavor.
  • Peel chickpeas for an extra smooth hummus texture.
  • Start with less buffalo sauce and add gradually to control spice level.
  • Chilling the hummus helps blend and deepen the flavors.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions, celery seeds, or a drizzle of buffalo sauce for added visual and flavor appeal.
