Start by rinsing and draining your 15 ounces of chickpeas. For an extra smooth texture, consider peeling the chickpeas, removing the skins for a creamier result.
In your food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, 1 chipotle in adobo pepper, 2 teaspoons of adobo sauce, 1 clove of garlic, 2 tablespoons of tahini, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a creamy consistency. This may take a minute or two. If the hummus is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired texture.
Taste your Chipotle Hummus and adjust the flavors as needed. You may want to add more lime juice for acidity or extra chipotle for heat.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and sprinkle with smoked paprika for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
