Black Bean Hummus

Start by pureeing the black beans and chickpeas in your food processor, adding garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin and olive oil as it mixes.

Note regarding tahini: it can be hard to find, and when you do find it, it’s usually expensive! But you can substitute the same amount of peanut butter, of all things, blended with a little bit of sesame oil or pureed sesame seeds, and get the same flavor/consistency. It doesn’t alter the flavor of the hummus, I promise!

Add the sour cream a tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you want for your hummus. You can skip the taco seasoning if you like (I prefer Cholula brand seasoning powder) but it does give the dip a nice zing. Add it to taste.

Serve with pita, pita chips, or in wraps.
