Curry Hummus with Jalapeno and Cilantro

This curry hummus is loaded with flavor from curry powder, tahini, spicy jalapeno, and cilantro.

You can make it in a flash from common pantry items, and it makes a healthy, delicious snack. It's the perfect thing to dip your homemade pita bread (or your store-bought pita bread! Or veggies, crackers, or pita chips!) into.
