What Hummus Should You Use?
For this recipe I used spicy hummus since SPICE is what I am going for! However, you can use whatever hummus you like or have on hand such as plain hummus or roasted red pepper hummus. Feel free to also try this recipe with homemade hummus.
I used President Choice’s Spicy Hummus. One container is the perfect amount of hummus for this recipe (1 cup or about 227 grams).
