Whether it’s store-bought, homemade, or at a Greek or Mediterranean restaurant, we eat a lot of hummus in our house, so for my husband to label Spicy Chipotle Hummus “THE BEST” really says something!
My husband loves all things spicy. He also loves smoky flavors, so naturally, he loves canned chipotle peppers in adobo.
They’re spicy and smoky because they’re dried, smoked jalapenos swimming in a spicy, vinegary tomato sauce. They add a wonderful tangy, smoky, spiciness to whatever you add them to.
Spicy Chipotle Hummus has two of my favorite spices, cumin and smoked paprika. It also has the requisite chipotles in adobo in addition to some cilantro to bring some freshness to the party.

How to serve this Chipotle Hummus
This spicy hummus makes a great dip! Some of our favorite dippers are:
- Carrots, broccoli, sweet mini peppers
- Toasted Za’atar Pita Chips (shown below)
- Pita bread
I also like to make hummus veggie wraps by slathering the hummus on a spinach wrap with some cucumber, feta cheese, red bell peppers, sliced red onion, and fresh spinach. It’s healthy and delicious!

This recipe is a slightly tamed down version of the recipe I make for my husband.
I don’t think very many people could handle the sweat-inducing, mouth-on-fire version he likes, however, you can add more chipotle peppers if you’re looking for more heat.
Just add one more at a time to the food processor until you get the spice level you’re looking for.
