Sabra and Trader Joe makes wonderful hummus. Sabra makes some spicy that is sold at Target.

I second the Trader Joe's recommendation. They make a cilantro jalapeno hummus that is absolutely scrumptious! In fact,  I had some for dinner tonight.  Here's a link to their website.

Hummus is so easy to make and super cheap.  I refuse to buy it now that I know how to make it.  The base is simple and then you just add whatever you want to make it Mexican.

Hummus

1 can of chickpeas (reserve the liquid)

2 tbsp of Tahini (sesame seed paste)

olive oil (optional - I prefer to skip the calories)

salt

lemon juice (squeeze of half a lemon - also optional)

 

I like to make mine Mexican as well by adding jalapeno and cumin.  Throw it all in a blender with about half of the reserved liquid from the chickpeas.  Use the liquid according to how thick or thin you like your hummus.

Sometimes, I throw in roasted red peppers (jarred).  I even swap out the chickpeas and make it with black beans.  Super yummy!!

I like this one from Smitten Kitchen http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2013/01/ethereally-smooth-hummus/. I guess you could flavour it with cumin and jalapeno for a more Mexican-style flavour.
