3 tbsp buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice preference)

2 tbsp tahini
-
2 tbsp olive oil

1–2 tbsp water (for desired consistency)

Instructions

Blend the hummus: In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, buffalo sauce, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
-
Adjust the consistency: Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue blending until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.

Garnish and serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with crumbled blue cheese, chopped green onions, or an extra drizzle of buffalo sauce for an added kick. Serve with pita chips, fresh vegetables, or crackers.
Notes
-
If you want a milder version, reduce the buffalo sauce or choose a mild buffalo sauce.
-
For an extra creamy texture, peel the skins off the chickpeas before blending.
-
You can store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
