Spicy Hummus with Pita (Harissa Spice)

Combining cumin, coriander, chilies and garlic, our Tunisian-inspired harissa spice lends vibrant peppery flavor and smoky heat to hummus, the classic chickpea dip. For a spicier kick, brush the pita breads with olive oil and sprinkle with additional harissa spice before toasting them.
