Tailgate Take-along Chipotle Hummus

I will do just about anything to avoid lugging out large kitchen appliances.  I mean really.  I feel like I take my life in my hands every time I have to lug out the food processor, stand mixer, or blender.  Not only are they hugely inconvenient, but the clean-up is a huge hassle.

Homemade hummus is so much more delicious than store bought and can easily be thrown together with ingredients I often have on hand anyway.  It's great for a quick snack when unexpected company drops by.  Or take it along to the game or tailgate party for a healthy alternative to the typical grease-laden standbys.  And because I'm a girl who likes my spice, this version has a bit of a kick!  If you prefer a more traditional version, simply hold the chipotle in adobo.
