Hummus is usually made with chickpeas, but you can also use black beans for this delicious Middle Eastern side dish. You can also add lime juice and jalapeños for that extra yumminess.
What you need:
• 3 pieces of six-inch pita bread
• ½ c of chopped cilantro (fresh, divided)
• ½ jalapeño pepper (small, seeded)
• 2 tbsps of roasted sesame seed paste or tahini
• 1 clove of garlic (peeled)
• 2 tbsps of water
• 1 15 oz can of black beans (no salt added, rinsed, drained)
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsps of lime juice (fresh)
• ¾ tsp cumin (ground)
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
How you make it:
Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees F or 218 degrees C.
Get a food processor and in it, place all the ingredients except the pita. Set aside some cilantro.
Process the ingredients until you produce a smooth paste.
Spoon it into a serving bowl.
Cut every pita into 8 wedges. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes. Turn once for even baking.
Serve the black bean hummus with the pita once the pita chips have cooled a bit.
Enjoy!
