Chili is one frequently occurring weeknight dinner in our house. I also go for it a lot when cooking for gluten free friends. My recent way of livening things up in the chili pot – adding the rich, nutty flavor of hummus! Are you intrigued? The hummus I used here, which could actually add some interesting depth of flavor to the chili is this jalapeño curry hummus. Some other hummuses I have shared about are “everything bagel” and ginger & cilantro.
