Start by gathering all of your ingredients. This simple task makes the following steps much smoother.

In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas. Pulse them a few times until they are roughly broken down. This step ensures a smoother final product.

Next, add in the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

If the mixture seems too thick, don’t hesitate to add chickpea liquid or cold water bit by bit until you achieve your desired consistency.

Now, it’s time to add the jalapeños. Depending on your spice preference, you can include them partially or entirely. Pulse again until combined.

Taste your hummus. Feel free to add more salt, lemon juice, or jalapeños to suit your palate.

Transfer your flavorful hummus into a serving bowl. You can drizzle a bit of olive oil on top and garnish with additional cilantro if you’d like.
