Middle East meets Southwest in this simple, versatile black bean hummus that comes together in just minutes. Use it as a dip or as part of a seven layer appetizer. Spread it on burritos, tostadas and nachos. Or use it to top off a salad or baked potato!
I’ve never met a hummus I haven’t liked, and this one is near and dear to my heart. I took my favorite hummus recipe and my favorite salsa recipe, and married them with a big, delicious helping of black beans. The first batch didn’t even last twelve hours at my house! And it probably won’t last long at yours either.
The ingredients are fresh and tasty, and lend themselves well to not only dip, but a wide variety of other dishes as well. Spread it on tortillas, tostadas, nachos, toast…whatever you like. Use it on a salad or on a baked potato, or even as the filling in a meatless enchilada. The sky is the limit!
