How to Prepare Spicy Chipotle Black Eyed Peas Hummus [Vegan, Gluten Free]

First make sure your peas are rinsed and cooled. Peel and chop your veggies.
Place your peas, onion, garlic, tahini, olive oil, and peppers in food processor or blender.
Blend until combined.
Add in your spices, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and vinegar. Blend again until creamy.
Taste to see if hummus is seasoned to your liking. If not, add more spices/salt/pepper.
Remove from food processor and place in serving bowl or container.
Garnish with extra onion and red pepper flakes.
If not serving right away, keep in sealed container in fridge for up to 7 days.

Notes

If too spicy, add more tahini, though it'll be thinner in texture. If you want to use real chipotle peppers, it is recommended that you add one pepper at time when blending, just so you can adjust spice accordingly.
