Super easy, and very good. I used canned jalepenos. I think fresh jalepenos would make it a bit spicier, but I liked the mild flavor the canned peppers created. I also added a little olive oil as recommended by others. Since finding the recipe last week, we have snacked through three batches. Thank you for a healthy and delicious recipe.

This is a great idea. I don't use the jalapeno because I usually don't have any, but I add extra cumin and some chili powder. It is different from hummus with tahini, but it makes for a refreshing (and lighter) change.

I really liked this recipe. I eye-balled most of the ingredients. It was definitely better the next day.

Great recipe! I changed it a bit by adding two roasted red peppers and 5 jalapeno slices (both out of a jar), a tiny bit of olive oil and some salt and pepper. It is great! I can't stop eating it!

I've always loved hummus but have never made it myself. As my first attempt, this was a really good and easy hummus recipe. I agree with previous reviewers that you'd need to taste as you're making it and add or subtract seasonings as you go along. I ended up adding more jalapeno peppers, another dash of cumin, a quick drizzle of olive oil and a bit more lemon. Refrigerating it overnight really helped enhance the taste. I loved it!

Made this recipe for lunch today along with a recipe for pita chips from this site. Fantastic! Just the right amount of heat with the jalapenos (Though I added a few more than the recipe called for). I did use 2 tbsp. of the leftover garbonzo bean fluid instead of one. Great!

I agree with other reviewers that this is a really good starting point for hummus, and then depending on what you like, you can add or remove ingredients. I made several changes - I omitted the jalapeno peppers and only used 1.5 cloves of garlic. I think next time I would use 2 cloves. I also added 1/4 tsp of parsley, 1/4 tsp of paprika, and a pinch of cayenne for some heat. I also added a few drops of olive oil, and needed quite a bit of the reserve liquid. I really like this recipe - I'm looking forward to experimenting more with it!

We had alot of peppers left over from the garden. This way a great way to use them. If you follow the recipe the dip is not too spicy, just right.

Super yummy, healthy & easy !!! A real winner. I used 3 jalapenos, the recommended lemon juice & cumin, 1 tbl of minced garlic, 4 tbl. of garbanzo bean can liquid and 1/2 tsp. of paprika. I think this is such a tasty & inexpensive alternative to the high fat, expensive store bought hummus. I used the Magic Bullet to blend the ingredients.

I thought this was good, but not perfect. I don't know what kind of jalapenos she was using..canned or real, but I only put one pepper in mine. It was still pretty hot. Next time I will use only 1.5 medium cloves of garlic and put in at least a tbsp of olive oil. I still liked it though, but I think it tastes better on pita chips than on real pita bread.

The texture wasn't ideal. I had to add a lot of extra liquid. Next time I might add some cilantro. I liked the Mexican spicing. I used 2/3 cup dry beans, cooked, instead of the canned beans, and it turned out just fine.
