Most food holidays come and go with me being completely unaware that they even existed in the first place.

I mean, who makes these things up? What’s the process for declaring such a thing? Is there some governmental body or committee that approves things like National Pie Day? Probably.

If so, I’m second guessing my career choices over here.

National Hummus Day is one of these amazing food holidays. Only difference is, I’m fully aware of this one and ready to celebrate!

Of course, Sabra is celebrating #NationalHummusDay too by combining hummus and the #UnofficialMeal.

Would you expect anything less?

Celebrate National Hummus Day with this Chipotle Hummus Fundido

Last time, we got our Asian on with this Asian hummus platter for the Unofficial Meal (what you’re snacking on while making dinner), today, we’re going Mexican with fundido!

I recently made this lightened up queso fundido over at Kitchen Treaty which made me realize how epically delicious fundido is, even lightened up (go check out the secret ingredient in that one!).

I mean, sure, I’ve had it at restaurants before but it wasn’t anything I ever thought to make at home.

Chipotle Hummus Fundido is a mix of two classic appetizers, queso fundido and hummus for one deliciously cheesy hot dip!

So to celebrate National Hummus Day, what could possibly be better than combining the classic hot cheese dip with the equally classic hummus in this chipotle hummus fundido?

It’s a collision of Mexico and the Middle East in your mouth and it takes the unofficial meal of the day to a whole new level.

You could use fresh or roasted vegetables for dipping to up your greens for the day, but let’s be honest, a classic pita chip or even some old school Fritos are an easier and more appetizing option.

Sabra's chipotle hummus and pepper jack cheese get mixed together and baked off in this Chipotle Hummus Fundido!

Just like this fundido dip uses hummus to lighten things up, I also love Amanda’s buffalo cauliflower dip that does the same using cauliflower.

They’ve both got a fun hidden health benefit you’d never suspect by taste alone!

Happy dipping!

*Pro tip — Grab one of these cute mini cast iron skillets to bake this dip in and serve it right from the pan hot out of the oven!
