I’m a huge fan of hummus (dips of all kinds, really!) I find eating the recommended serving size of just 2 tablespoons to be quite a challenge! Any other volume eaters like me out there??? If so, read on…..
I created my own hummus using chick peas, fat free, plain Greek yogurt, fresh garlic, lemon, Tajin* and a tiny bit of water. I must say….YUM! It’s a success! Keep in mind, I’m a “to taste” kind of cook, so feel free to adjust the amount of any ingredients to match your own tastes. My measurements are not always (rarely) exact!
Joseph’s Pitas are a staple at my house and I’ve shared them on my site before. They turn into awesome pita chips in the air fryer! I simply use my kitchen sheers to slice one pita into 8ths, spritz with olive oil and in less than a minute in the air fryer they are crispy and delicious! We get our groceries through Walmart delivery and I’ve never had any trouble finding them at various Walmart locations. I believe most grocery stores carry them? They are thinner and lighter than a traditional pita.
Try it and let me know what you think in the comments!

Instructions
Add drained, rinsed garbanzo beans to food processor along with garlic, lemon juice and water. **The order in which the ingredients does make a difference in the smooth, creaminess of the hummus.
Mix until it's as smooth as possible. It will remain grainy, but it shouldn't be chunky. If needed....add little more water.
Next, add the fat free, plain Greek yogurt and blend til creamy.
Lastly add the Tajin with lime spice to taste and stir in completely. The Tanjin with lime spice I use is pictured. I LOVE it...but it does have a strong lime/citrus flavor. If preferred, salt to taste could easily be substituted.
To make pita chips, I use kitchen shears to cut one pita into 8 triangles.
Then, spritz with olive oil and a dash of sea salt or garlic salt.
