This zesty hummus makes an excellent dip, cracker spread, or sandwich dressing. Try it spread thinly over fresh pita bread halves topped with sprigs of arugula and diced avocado for a spicy treat.  

•  1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans, save one cup of liquid to thin hummus
•   ¼ cup tahini
•   4 tablespoons lemon juice
•   3 cup water, use liquid from garbanzo beans
•   ½-1 teaspoons chipotle powder 
•   Sprinkle garlic powder
•   Salt, to taste

Drain garbanzo beans and save the liquid for thinning the hummus later.  Place all ingredients in a blender or food process or until smooth. If necessary, thin the mixture by adding more of the liquid from the beans. Taste and adjust seasonings. Store in refrigerator.
