Hummus with Lemon Essential Oil (No Tahini)

I am mourning the loss of my pita chips. Are you grieving with me? If so, did you know you can brush brown rice tortillas and toast them? It is not exactly pita chips but it makes a nice substitute for my favorite hummus.

Part of our experimenting with different health solutions has been trying Essential Oils. The idea of cooking with essential oils amazed me and since hummus is not cooked, I thought it would be a perfect way to add essential oils to our diet without risking the loss of any vital properties by heating them.
