Smoky Chipotle Pumpkin Hummus

Every year I get a little worn down by all of the "pumpkin spice" products that seem to multiply into things that just don't make any sense being "pumpkin spice" at all.

But one bite of this creamy and spicy hummus will have you smacking your lips and reaching for more chips to dip!  SO EASY and SO STINKING GOOD!  The pumpkin adds just the perfect touch of color and flavor.  Even people that claim they don't like hummus keep coming back for more of this - a total game changer and always a crowd favorite!

RECIPE NOTES: 
​
Don’t use more garlic than what recipe calls for – it can easily overwhelm the hummus.

Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds and is a staple in many cuisines, especially in the Mediterranean.  Use a fresh and high quality tahini for this recipe, as cheaper tahinis often taste quite bitter.
