Easy Hummus

          

I make this hummus all the time. It only takes a few minutes to prepare, and it’s healthier without the oil. Increase or decrease the ingredients as desired, especially the jalapenos! Serve with pita chips or fresh veggie slices. Add more of the reserved bean liquid for a smoother dip.
