Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus

April 6, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 32 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Good Friday to you!!  Today I have off from work!  Woohoo!  Hmmm what to do with my day? I do know I’ll be munching on today’s recipe.

Trader Joe’s has a wonderful Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus that I just love, but they changed the calories on it from 45 calories for two tablespoons to 80, and that is way to much for me, since two tablespoons is not very much!  So I took their ingredients and made one of my own, which I think turned out perfect!  Mine is 28 calories for two tablespoons and has all the flavor of Trader Joe’s, but way fewer calories.


I didn’t add Tahini paste or olive oil and it’s creamy, smooth and spicy, all the components in which I think makes a good hummus.  The key to making your humus smooth, is peeling the garbanzo beans.  All you do is grab the bean and pinch it like you were shooting marbles; than the skin comes right off.  I gotten so good at peeling them, that it takes me no time to do one can, but I will admit it’s a pain in the butt to do, but well worth it in the end.  It’s as creamy as whipped mashed potatoes.

I took this hummus to work and got rave reviews.  Matter in fact one of my co-workers wanted the recipe so he could make it for his wife, how sweet is that?  This hummus is really easy to make and not many ingredients.  It’s made with garbanzo beans, jalapeno,cilantro, garlic and cumin.  I processed it in my mini food processor, no big ones needed.

Well my friends, I worked a pinch late today, so my schedule is messed up, and Hubby is in the garage working, so it’s time for me to squeeze in 20 minutes of kickboxing before he comes out to watch TV.

Have a wonderful day and a super great “Good Friday”!!

    That hummus was always my favorite at Trader Joe’s! Bummer about the calories. I’ve made a copycat recipe before also and it was definitely as good as the original. I’ll have to try your version!

    This dip looks incredible. The ingredients are so pure and I bet this is perfect with not only veggies, but slathered on some crackers!

      Yah I hate adding Tahini, it’s expensive and fattening! This tastes just as good without it!

    I adore hummus and I am going to save this recipe for our very first jalapeno from the garden. We don’t have TJs so I have never heard of this combination but it sounds genius!

    I’ve tried TJ’s jalapeno cilantro hummus and I loved it! But you’re right, 80 calories for 2 tablespoons is ridiculous. I’m so glad you recreated a homemade version with less calories! 🙂

    Wow! I always buy that hummus at TJ’s. Its our favorite, but I haven’t checked the nutrition info in awhile so I’m so bummed! I’ll definitely be trying your recipe soon. My 6 year old loves hummus as much as I do, so I’m sure he’ll love helping me make it too!

    I love hummus too and also make my own. It is so easy and tastes so much better than anything you can buy in the store…and healthier too! Plus jalapeno and cilantro, what a fantastic pairing. Following from Allergy Free Wednesdays! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe! Jana http://www.adoctorandanurse.com

    I love this flavor combo! I make humus fairly frequently and never tried shelling the chick peas. It does sound like a pain but if it comes out creamy without the extra oil or tahini it’s worth a try. Thanks!

      It is a pain to peel them, but it comes out like a creamy mashed potatoes, I love that more than when it’s gritty.

    I can say in all honesty that this is delicious! I also have a cilantro hummus recipe on my blog and it’s outrageous! So good! I love your addition of cumin and jalapeno.

    Thank you for sharing your recipe with us last week on AFW! Be sure to check back this week for reader favorites and hostess picks.

    Be Well,

    I just made this with my Magic Bullet (which I am still learning to use). I went a little heavy on the juice from the chickpeas to get it to the consistency I prefer. I will never buy the TJ version again! Sorry TJ but this is SO yummy!!!

      Oh I’m so glad you like it! I love it too and it was a big hit at my work party! I used to buy TJ’s too, and not anymore even though there’s is pretty good, but I eat to much for there 80 calories for 2 tablespoons.

    Just made this, but had to use dried cilantro. Mine didn’t turn green, though… Still, even before melding in the fridge, it tasted yum!

      I’m glad it turned out! I have to say a lot of my foods turn out tasting wonderful even if they don’t look like a picture or even look pretty It’s the taste that counts! I’m so glad you liked it!! You inspired me, I”m going to make some right now, but I don’t have fresh cilantro, so I’m going to use dried to!! Thank you!!

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.

Do you have any plans for Easter?

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
