# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F.
02 - Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.

04 - Bake for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
05 - In a food processor, combine avocado, chickpeas, cilantro, parsley, tahini, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
06 - Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with chopped herbs if desired. Serve with the freshly baked pita chips.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The avocado adds this incredible velvety texture that makes regular hummus feel almost grainy by comparison
- It comes together in literally 15 minutes but looks like you spent way more effort on it
02 -
- The water temperature genuinely matters here, cold water keeps the emulsion stable while warm water can make the hummus separate oddly
- Avocado oxidizes quickly, so serving immediately gives you that gorgeous bright green color that makes everyone Instagram their plate first
03 -
- Reserve a few chickpeas to garnish the top along with extra herbs for that professional look
- If your hummus seems too thick, keep adding water gradually rather than all at once
