Roasted Green Chili Hummus - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed, and papery skins removed
    1 lime, juiced
    1 tablespoon tahini paste
    1 tablespoon water
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 clove roasted garlic
    1 green chili pepper, roasted, seeded, and peeled
    2 tablespoons cilantro, stems removed
    salt
    pepper
Preparation
    Boil garbanzo beans in salted water for 10-12 minutes. Drain and place into food processor.
    Add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
    If it does not become smooth enough for your taste, add additional water, olive oil, or lime juice - depending on the flavor you desire.
    Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Pulse to mix through.
    If you like a bit more heat than the green chili gives, add a bit of jalapeno or serrano pepper. Whatever you do -- please -- don't add canned diced chilis. The vinegary canned flavor does not go well with the garbanzo beans.
    Serve with warm soft pitas or crispy pita chips.
