Hummus Ingredients

  • 1 can Chickpeas
  • 1/2 cup Tahini
  • 1 Juicy lemon
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic
  • 6-7 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • Salt & pepper

Ground Beef Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1/2 White onion
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 bunch Cilantro
  • Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

Hummus Instructions

  • Drain canned chickpeas, rinse them under cold water, and place them in a bowl.
  • Cover the chickpeas with boiling water and let them sit in it for 5-7 mins (this will make the hummus creamier).
  • Drain the chickpeas again and add them to a food processor or blender along with the tahini, lemon juice, peeled garlic cloves, olive oil, and spices.
  • Blend until a creamy consistency forms. Taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. (If the hummus is not creamy, add more lemon juice, olive oil, or a bit of water and blend until it reaches the consistency you prefer).

Ground Beef Instructions

  • Finely chop the white onion and mince the garlic cloves.
  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan on the stove to a medium heat.
  • Once heated, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Pan fry until golden brown (about 2-3 mins).
  • Using a spatula, move the onion and garlic mixture to the side of the pan and add ground beef on the empty side.
  • Season the beef directly on the pan using the listed spices. Stir and crumble it into small pieces until it is browned. (This will take about 10 minutes).
  • When the beef is fully cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Chop the small bunch of cilantro and mix it into the onion, garlic, and beef mixture when the beef is finished cooking.

Plating Instructions

  • Smooth hummus into a bowl using a spoon, and leave a large indent in the middle to make room for the ground beef. Fill the "hole" with the ground beef mixture.
  • Add chili powder, a drizzle or olive oil, and fresh cilantro to garnish.
