Creamy Chili Lime Hummus with Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips

Crunchy, salty, creamy, addicting. . .this recipe has all of the elements of a great snack! Oh, and I forgot to list, SUPER easy to make! Throwing together a handful of ingredients is all it takes. The chili powder gives a kick to the refreshing lime flavor and makes for a unique twist to an already delicious, healthy snack.

Homemade chips are perfect for us because my husband likes the big chips and I’m always picking out the smaller, broken pieces. When we make them, we both get the size we want! 🙂 Plus, we can season them with whatever spices go well with what we are eating. So convenient!
