Black Bean Hummus
Description
This Black Bean Hummus combines canned black beans with tahini, lime juice, and olive oil, blended until smooth for a thick, creamy consistency. Garlic, cumin, and chili powder contribute robust, warm flavors that balance the beans’ earthiness. Fresh cilantro and optional fire-roasted diced green chiles add a fresh, slightly spicy dimension.
The recipe allows adjusting the texture by adding water if needed and seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Blending the chiles with the other ingredients creates a uniformly smooth hummus; alternatively, they may be stirred in for texture contrast.
This versatile hummus serves as a dip with vegetables, chips, or flatbreads and as a spread in sandwiches or wraps, offering a flavorful alternative to traditional chickpea hummus with its smoky and vibrant elements.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons tahini
- lime juice of 1/2
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 - 2 Tablespoons cilantro packed chopped fresh
- 1 - 2 Tablespoons green chiles optional, fire roasted, diced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the black beans, tahini, lime juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, cumin, and chili powder into a food processor and blend until smooth.
- If additional liquid is needed to form desired consistency, add a tablespoon or two of water.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro and diced green chiles (if using). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Note: If you prefer a completely smooth hummus, you may blend the green chiles, if using, and cilantro with the other ingredients.
