Black Bean Hummus

Two weekends ago, we had some friends over to watch football. I debated what to make for appetizers since I knew we would be grilling chicken for tacos. So, I opted to make this loaded Mexican Black Bean Hummus! And I’m so glad I did – it was all devoured in no time!

Honestly, it was so delicious I had to make a second batch. Good thing it comes together so easily with a few common ingredients! Literally, Black Bean Hummus is done in about 5 minutes, and all you need is a food processor.

Plus, Black Bean Hummus is a great recipe for just about everyone. It’s vegetarian if you leave out the cheese topping and (depending on the ingredients you use) generally gluten-free in case you have people with dietary needs over.

The texture is smooth and creamy, and you can adjust the heat level if you really love hot sauce. And the flavor?! SO phenomenal. Even the kids love it! It makes the best bean dip ever!

It’s a wonderful game-day snack, although it’s fun to gobble down on any other occasion. It’s one of my absolute faves to break out for a quick snack or appetizer.

Grab your favorite tortilla chips and veggies, and enjoy!

Spicy Black Bean Hummus Recipe: Ingredients & Equipment

For this Loaded Mexican Black Bean Hummus recipe, you’ll need …

Ingredients

For the hummus

canned black beans, virgin olive oil – the start of your hummus. Make sure the black beans are drained.
tahini – this is a paste made from sesame seeds and the basis of hummus. Very likely, you can get it in the ethnic/international foods section of your grocery store.
garlic, cumin, lime juice, cilantro – these ingredients are what every fan of Mexican food knows and loves!!
hot sauce – for the spiciness! I use Tapatio, but if you don’t like the heat, use taco sauce (which is very mild). Either way, you’ll want a little something extra!
salt and pepper – to taste, as always.

For the topping

extra black beans, Cojita cheese, red onion, tomato, jalapeño, etc. – have fun with the toppings! Make sure everything is rinsed/drained, crumbled, seeded, chopped, etc., where necessary.

Equipment

food processor – an easy way to combine all your ingredients.
