Avocado Cilantro Quick Hummus Recipe

1 can chickpeas (drained)
2 avocados from Mexico
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp Tahini
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp garlic
Directions:
First, open and drain your chickpeas and add them to a blender (or food processor). Next, cut open the avocados and remove the seed. Scoop out the avocado flesh and add in to the chickpeas in the blender. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender.
Blend until smooth. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
That’s it! Easy, right? Now all you have to do is grab some dippers. You can eat it with carrots, celery, red peppers, or broccoli. It goes great on pita chips, pretzel thins, and tortilla chips. We like it on bagels and sandwiches too. Since we are talking about all those vegetables, did you know that an avocado is a fruit? It is actually a single seeded berry. How is that for a bit of trivia?
