"This is my own creation and is our family favorite. I make it as a movie night snack or a quick lunch with pita chips. I use a Vitamix Blender to mix this at home, but I have used an Oster Blender and it worked in that too."

Great tasty hummus! I made half of the recipe and loved the smoky flavor from the ancho chili. I did add just a little water so that it wouldn't be quite so thick and it came out smooth and creamy. Served with warm pita bread and really enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2014
