Spicy Cilantro Hummus

I love hummus, and have just recently starting making my own. I had a sandwich at Panera earlier this week that had spicy cilantro hummus on it. Luckily, they publish their nutrition info (which includes ingredients), so I attempted to recreate it and changed a few things in the process.

1 roasted red bell pepper or pieces
Juice of one small lemon
1 tablespoon tahini (sesame seed paste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
2 garlic cloves, quartered
1 medium chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. (more or less depending on desired heat)
Handful fresh cilantro

Blend until smooth in food processor or blender.
