Taco Spiced Hummus
This Taco Spiced Hummus is a fun, flavorful, and lightened up dip that pairs beautifully with veggies for a healthy snack or appetizer! I love serving this alongside or in place of chips and salsa before a Mexican-inspired meal or just for munching. Unlike traditional hummus, this Taco Spiced Hummus uses Greek yogurt rather than oil and tahini, making it lower in fat and calories while still keeping a creamy texture. This recipe is super easy to whip up (it literally comes together in minutes) and uses just canned chickpeas, Greek yogurt and some spices from your cupboard. You probably have everything you need on hand! Not only is this hummus flavorful and easy-to-make, a ¼ cup serving is just 82 calories 0 WW Points. That’s right, this Taco Spiced Hummus is ZERO points on Weight Watchers! To view your current WW Points for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here!
My recipe for Taco Spiced Hummus uses commonly used dry spices you are likely to have in your cupboard, but if you find you’re missing a few things or want to use pre-mixed taco seasoning from a packet you can. It will change the flavor a bit, but I’m sure it will still be tasty. I’d probably use about 1.5 tablespoons of taco seasoning from a packet (it’s easy to adjust to taste, so feel free to add more or less if you go this route). This hummus is great with bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, celery, cucumbers…whatever veggies you have around! In addition to making a tasty dip, I also like to use hummus on sandwiches or in wraps for creaminess and added flavor. Try it as a sandwich spread, I think you’ll love it!

A zero point hummus?! I’m intrigued! Will be trying soon!
Can you use a blender instead?
This is SO GOOD! I usually don’t like hummus, but I will keep this on rotation.
Nice post thanks for share article
Looking great! Need to taste it recently.This is SO GOOD! I usually don’t like hummus, but I will keep this on rotation.
The taco flavor was there, but the consistency was a bit grainy for my liking. I did enjoy the fact that it was zero points though! I’m unsure why mine didn’t have the same consistency as your photos from the post–guess I’ll have to mess around with it!
I’ve perused all kinds of topics on your channel, and I always thoroughly enjoy all of your content. Honestly thank you so much for your page.
Easy to make and love that it is zero points. I did add 2 more teaspoons of chilli powder and 1 more of cumin as I like spicy. Can’t wait to try your other recipes.
