  • A generous drizzle of olive oil (about 2 tablespoons)
  • A splash of zesty lemon juice (⅛ cup)
  • A couple of dollops of creamy tahini (2 tablespoons)
  • A handful of minced garlic cloves (8 cloves)

  • A sprinkle of ground black pepper (½ teaspoon)
  • A dash of fiery cayenne pepper (1 ½ teaspoons)
  • A pinch of aromatic ground cumin (½ teaspoon)

Start by placing garbanzo beans, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, jalapeno, and a splash of the jalapeno juice into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add a sprinkle of black pepper, cayenne, cumin, and a touch of oregano for seasoning.

Using the whisk attachment, gently mix the ingredients on low speed until they begin to come together. Gradually increase the speed to medium, blending until you reach your preferred smoothness.
