Buffalo Wing’ish Hummus

I don’t know about you but I LOVE almost anything with buffalo wing sauce, there’s just something about it that makes everything taste better. You can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon this recipe! All the taste of buffalo wings without the greasy meat and occasional cartilage/fat between your teeth! Sorry, but it’s true!

I found this recipe on PreventionRD.com. This is a really cool site and I’m looking forward to making more of her recipes!

Buffalo Wing Hummus

2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed (I used 2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas)
2-3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp paprika
3 Tbsp calorie-free wing sauce (I used 5 Tbsp Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce instead of these two different types of sauce)
2 Tbsp cayenne hot sauce
1 Tbsp distilled white vinegar
1/2 tsp Kosher salt (I only added a tiny pinch)

Directions:

Put the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, paprika, wing sauce, hot sauce, vinegar and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor. Puree until smooth and creamy.

Yield: 12 servings (1/4 cup each).

Thanks for posting this! I added an extra tablespoon of hot wing sauce and a bit of cayenne pepper because we like stuff on the spicy side and it turned out so yummy! We had it stuffed in a whole wheat lavash wrap with shredded carrots, red bell peppers, lettuce and a drizzle of tofu ranch sauce.

Hi Elisabeth! I usually use a ton of Frank’s Hot Sauce, I never measure it anymore. I add in the Cholula too, we also like spicy food! Great idea with the wraps, I’ll try that. They usually don’t last long enough to put them into anything! Thank you!!!
