This is delicious. The recipe makes a TON and I'm glad because there is plenty left over after a large party :) I made it as is except added a bit more cumin and a half can of chipotle peppers to up the heat a bit. Its fun to eat, sweet and smokey at first then the spice kicks in at the end- yum! It took a long time for me to de-husk the beans as recommended in reviews and I would NOT repeat that step again since the hummus is already kind of coarse from the red peppers and tomatoes. But will definitely make it again.

This hummus is amazing!!! We've made it a number of times and it is always a hit. Plus it is perfect for summer get togethers since it doesn't need to be refrigerated or heated, and can be served with pita chips (Bare Naked from Sam's Club are the best!) or veggies. To make it spicier, add some adobo sauce (also gives nice color) and/or another chipotle pepper. For a less expensive version, omit the roasted red peppers and/or the sun dried tomatoes. Delicious! Thanks for sharing!
