Recipe: Black Bean Hummus

For lovers of hummus and black beans like myself, this Cooking Light recipe makes a simple yet tasty and healthy dip. I served mine with tortilla chips I made by baking tortilla strips sprayed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt at 425 degrees.

• 1  garlic clove, peeled
• 2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
• 1  tablespoon  tahini (roasted sesame seed paste)
• 1  teaspoon  ground cumin
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1  (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
• 2  teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 
  
• Place garlic in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Add lemon juice, tahini, cumin, salt, pepper, and black beans; process until smooth. Spoon bean mixture into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
