Place garlic in food processor and process until finely chopped. Add chickpeas, tahini, habanero powders, cumin, salt and a bit of cilantro. With machine running, add olive oil in a thin stream. Puree until smooth. Add a touch of salt and pepper, to taste.

To serve, remove to serving bowl. Surround with pita triangles. Chop cilantro and garnish hummus. Drizzle extra oil on top. Maybe a touch of habanero powder, for color.

Makes enough for a large crowd.

NOTES :
You can divide this recipe. Take 1/2 out and put in a bowl, for the non-chile heads and add the habanero to the other half. You'll make both crowds happy!!
