A flavorful and easy-to-make dip inspired by Mexican cuisine, perfect for gatherings or as a snack.
Place the garlic cloves in the food processor and pulse until finely minced.
Fresh garlic adds a robust flavor, but you can use roasted garlic for a milder taste.
Add the chickpeas, tahini, lime juice, cumin, cilantro, and chili powder to the processor.
For a creamier texture, add a splash of water or olive oil while blending.
Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice or chili powder for extra zing.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of chili powder and a sprig of cilantro.
Serve with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks for a delightful snack.
