This recipe for Mexican hummus is spicy and delicious, give it a try, you’ll love it.
Hummus needs no introduction, it is delicious and so versatile. But I guess, Mexican hummus or hummus with “chiles toreados” need a bit of a definition here. Chiles toreados is a Mexican term for onions and chiles that are sautéed in a bit of oil and finished with soy sauce and lemon juice. It is to die for! I love to eat “chiles toreados” with everything, even with sushi and hummus, they go well in everything.
