Disclosure: This keto hummus recipe is a sponsored campaign in collaboration with Cacique Inc. and Society Culinaria. 

A quick, gluten-free, low carb and keto cauliflower jalapeno hummus topped with crumbled queso fresco and chorizo and served with celery sticks.

NFL season is still on! And right along with sporting events comes food, of course… and the best eats are handy and tasty finger foods.

They don’t have to be heavy in order to be delish and fun. This quick, low carb, gluten-free Cauliflower Hummus Recipe with Cheese and Chorizo will blow your mind.

Well, who isn’t crazy for hummus? How about cheese and chorizo sausage? Just the mention of them makes my mouth water!!!

This jalapeno hummus recipe is super easy to prepare and a real crowd-pleaser! Don’t believe me? Well, then see for yourself!

Our low carb hummus dip follows the same concept as the classic Levantine dip or spread prepared with chickpeas. 

But we make ours with tahini paste, lemon juice, salt, garlic, olive oil, jalapeno, cilantro or parsley, and Cacique Queso Fresco.

The difference is that in this keto hummus, cooked cauliflower is used instead of chickpeas, making it  low-carb. Then, it is topped with cooked Cacique Beef Chorizo and crumbled queso fresco.

It is served with celery sticks or baby carrots, which are also low in carbs.

HOW TO MAKE KETO CAULIFLOWER JALAPENO HUMMUS RECIPE

  • First,  microwave the cauliflower with a bit of water and 2 cloves of garlic.
  • Second, process or blend in a food processor or blender with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, (sesame) paste, jalapeno, cilantro, and queso fresco  until smooth.
  • Last, place keto hummus into a bowl and top with cooked chorizo and crumbled cheese. Voila! Could any appetizer be easier than that?

ABOUT CACIQUE PRODUCTS

I used Cacique beef chorizo and queso fresco as toppings for this low carb dip.

They added a ton of flavor and made our hummus look way more delish, filling in for the usual drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of paprika.

In fact, the chorizo already contains paprika. Cacique is the #1 brand of Mexican-Style cheeses and chorizos– a family owned company dedicated to producing the highest quality authentic products.

For more yummy recipes like this one, visit the Cacique Blog.

There you can also obtain more info about their products and locate them in a local store near you.

Well,  enjoy the football season along with our keto hummus and also our pao de queijo recipe. Have fun!!!

    What a scrumptious way to enjoy hummus! Cauliflower is such an underrated vegetable, you’ve given it the spotlight it deserves.
