Roasted red pepper hummus



Cooked Chickpeas/garbanzo beans - 1 1/2 cups
Tahini - 2 tbsp
Lemon juice - 2 tbsp
Garlic cloves - 2
Green chilis - 2
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Dried oregano - a pinch
Cayenne pepper - 1 tsp
Extra virgin olive oil - 1 tbsp
Roasted red peppers(jarred) - 1
salt to taste
Cilantro - handful leaves

Blend all the ingredients into a smooth paste. Enjoy with pita chips. Really a healthy and flavorful dip. You can use it as a spread on sandwiches, or serve it with cut veggies. 
If you would like to make your own tahini sauce, here's an easier version.

Roast some sesame seeds and grind with some olive oil.
