Hatch Chile Spicy Hummus Dip is one of our best Hatch green chili recipes! Hummus comes alive when paired with Southwestern ingredients. A kick of heat from roasted chopped Hatch Chile Peppers and a shake or two of cumin and Tabasco Sauce.
Warm pita bread may be one of the best simple pleasures in life. Soft, chewy and so wonderful in flavor. And when cut into those fluffy little triangles, so perfect and pretty for dipping.
Thanks to Debra over at Eliot’s Eats and her recent trip to New Mexico for this idea. Her visit to a restaurant who served Green Chile Spicy Hummus had me digging into my freezer for my stash of Hatch Green Chiles, pronto.
Hatch Chile Spicy Hummus Dip
No homemade pita bread for this recipe. I’ve never made homemade pita bread before. It’s on my list of things to accomplish and I can only imagine how wonderful it is. But with a Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill close by, who serves and sells killer pitas, I’m afraid I’ve been too lazy to give it a try.
But making my own spicy hummus has kept me out of the super-slacker category for this one.
I have tinkered and tinkered with getting a hummus recipe just right for my taste and you’ll find the recipe in this post about Ya Ya’s Grilled Pita and Hummus. A great version topped with feta and olives. = YUM.
So next time you’re making homemade hummus for an appetizer, take it up a notch with some spice. This spicy hummus is delicious, with just a kick of heat from the chile, sultry with cumin and a few shakes of Tabasco to keep us honest.
Spicy Hummus Serving Suggestions
Serve with your favorite dippers. I used pita, carrots, slices of cucumber and cornichons. You’ll find this on my Super Bowl buffet next Sunday.

Hatch Green Chile Spicy Hummus Dip …It’s what’s for an Appetizer.
Heather says
January 28, 2015 at 1:01 pmThat would be perfect for the super bowl! Yum!
Lea Ann Brown says
January 29, 2015 at 8:32 amIt’s on my Superbowl menu.
Sam @ My Carolina Kitchen says
January 28, 2015 at 3:21 pmYou’re making me real jealous over Hatch Chilies. I agree with Heather. This would be great for a Super Bowl appetizer.

January 29, 2015 at 8:32 amYou should be jealous over those Hatch Chile. You and Meakin need to make a Fall trip to Colorado and try them fresh.
Karen Harris says
January 28, 2015 at 3:31 pmI just discovered white bean hummus today at King Soopers and it is my new addiction. Now, thanks to your inspiration, I’m going to add some chiles to it for a real treat. Yum!
Lea Ann Brown says
January 29, 2015 at 8:31 amI’ll be at KS today and you bet I’m going to look for that white bean hummus. Always love trying new things.
Holly says
January 28, 2015 at 8:19 pmWho says good food has to be from scratch? Not me! I love updating store bought food with high quality ingredients and now I know what to do with my stash of chile too! Enjoy the game this weekend!
Lea Ann Brown says
January 29, 2015 at 8:31 amI’ve made my own hummus a couple of times, but sometimes it’s easier to grab that tub. You enjoy your Superbowl weekend too Holly.
Carol at Wild Goose Tea says
January 28, 2015 at 8:54 pmWell Done! This is easy and it’s hummus with a ZING!
Lea Ann Brown says
January 29, 2015 at 8:30 amExactly Carol! Always good to hear from you.
Vickie says
January 29, 2015 at 8:55 amLove adding Tabasco “to keep us honest” . . . and I can’t wait to try this with my Montana green chilies. Hooray for a delicious dip idea!
Lea Ann Brown says
January 30, 2015 at 7:06 amYay for Montana green chile.
Barb Behmer says
January 29, 2015 at 10:14 amEasy-peasy, just my style! We drove to Denver on Tuesday to hike/bike for the day in your 70 degree temps. Felt like spring. It’s been warm here in the mts, too, but more snow in forecast.
Lea Ann Brown says
January 30, 2015 at 7:07 amWasn’t it just gorgeous? My dogs sure enjoyed a long walk.
Rocky Mountain Woman says
January 29, 2015 at 11:00 amThis one is going on my buffet also!

January 29, 2015 at 5:42 pmI’m a hummus purist, which means none of that pumpkin hummus junk! Only thing I like in my hummus is spicy things, like this and sriracha, etc. I bet the green chillies were pretty awesome in this! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I still have 2lbs of Hatch Green Chillies in my freezer…time to thaw some out!
I tried some Hope hummus the other day, in Thai Curry flavour, it was so good!
Lea Ann Brown says
January 30, 2015 at 7:08 amNazneen, I’ll have to look for the Hope Hummus. Where did you find it?
Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti says
January 29, 2015 at 10:58 pmI wish I had some frozen hatch green chis in my freezer, Lea Ann, so that I could make this for Superbowl Sunday! Are there any good canned or jarred varieties?
Lea Ann Brown says
January 30, 2015 at 7:11 amI think I’ve seen some good options in the freezer section. Or you can order them from New Mexico companies. We’ll have to make sure you have some Hatch Chile next Fall.
Barbara says
January 30, 2015 at 5:30 amAwesome Super Bowl food, Lea Ann! Agree about pita…why make it if you someplace locally that turns out a great pita?Ditto the hummus. Love your additions and the kick they add to the dish. Jealous about the stash of Hatch chilies in your freezer!
Lea Ann Brown says
January 30, 2015 at 7:12 amThanks Barbara. And yes, we are lucky to have Roasters in Denver who can make sure our freezers are full.
Kate says
February 2, 2015 at 9:14 amOh my goodness, you mean I can mix things in the hummus? Why didn’t I think of that? I know I will buy my pita bread as I will be way to busy mixing up hummus to make my own!
Lea Ann Brown says
February 4, 2015 at 7:05 amI’m sure hummus purists might not like this green chile version, but it sure was good.
Chris says
February 12, 2015 at 12:04 pmI still have some Hatch chiles in the freezer but all I have left are the hot ones. Maybe I’ll tame it down by only using 2 of them.
Lea Ann Brown says
February 13, 2015 at 7:20 amThose hot ones can be ornery. I always take the time to remove every seed and as much vein as I can.
