Avocado, Cilantro and Jalapeño Hummus

I haven't always been a big fan of hummus. It took me years to find one that I could actually tolerate and it happened to be at Trader Joe's. Their Cilantro and Jalapeño Hummus is to die for but now that we have moved, there isn't a Trader Joe's near us. I have always wanted to try to make my own but the process always seemed so complicated and I had no idea what Tahini was or where to find it. I finally got a food processor and decided that now was the perfect time to try to make some of my own!  The process was anything but complicated and the end product was delicious. Enjoy!

1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
