Sriracha and hummus make the perfect pairing. The sriracha adds flavor and spiciness to the hummus without overpowering the flavor of the hummus. For a spicier hummus you can add more sriracha sauce. I used 3 tablespoons in the hummus and then added a drizzle on top and the hummus had a subtle spiciness to it. Next time I will definitely add more sriracha.
Sriracha Hummus

- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

- In a food processor add the tahini, lemon juice and sesame oil. Process until well mixed.

- With the food processor running continue to add handfuls of garbanzo beans until well mixed and smooth.
- With the food processor running drizzle in the olive oil and mix well.
- If the hummus is too thick add in small amounts of the reserved bean liquid until desired consistency is reached.
- Taste the hummus and add more sriracha until desired level of spiciness is reached.
