Avocado Hummus

I love hummus.  I love avocados.  I love Sriracha.  Why not combine them?

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and followed it up until the end when I added some spice.  When I make this again, I will only use one avocado instead of two.  I liked it with two but it tasted much more like guacamole than hummus.  I also didn't add olive oil because I didn't think it needed any more liquid.  All in all, I really enjoyed this & will definitely make it again.

Ingredients:
2 avocados (this time -- next time, I'll just use 1)
1 can chick peas
Juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup water
Seasonings (seasoned salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, cumin)
Sriracha

Directions:
Drain & rinse chick peas.  Dice up avocado.  Add lemon juice, garlic, water & some seasonings.


Use a food processor to combine.  I only have a tiny one so I had to do this in 6 batches! 


I added little bits of Sriracha & continued to taste it to make sure I didn't get too crazy with the spiciness. 


All in all, very tasty!  I ate it with vegetables, pretzels, on sandwiches, etc. & will absolutely make it again!
