Spicy Avocado and Black Bean Hummus


This is just another variation of the seemingly endless theme of hummus recipes. And this one--if I do say so myself--is not only equally delicious but also really simple to make...put everything in a food processor and process until smooth. But technically this is not a hummus after all (I can be such a stickler) because the Arabic word hummus translates as chickpea. This would be ful or fool (beans). Anyhow, this is really good, and really healthy, and really easy to make.

 
Spicy Avocado and Black Bean Hummus

Makes about 4 cups

2 ripe avocados, peeled
2 cans (15 oz. ea.) black beans, rinsed
1 cup tahini
4 cloves garlic

½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup water
¼ cup hot pepper sauce

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.


Urban Simplicity.
