This is a fun Latin twist on a party favorite. I love picking up a bag of Ingles’ fresh in-store made tortilla chips to enjoy with this. It’s also perfect for crunch vegetables and fruit like celery, jicama, radishes, and even green apples.
Serves: 4-6
Shopping List
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. lime juice
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- 3 chipotle peppers, in adobo
- ½ cup pepita butter

- 1 (15½ oz.) can chickpeas
- 2 tbsp. neutral oil
Instructions
- Add chickpeas, hominy, and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until smooth.
- While the processor is running, add ice cubes, pepita butter, salt, and lemon and lime juice, and chipotle peppers. Blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check, and if the consistency is too thick still, run the processor and slowly add a little hot water. Blend until you reach desired silky smooth consistency.
