This easy and creamy pinto bean "hummus" recipe tastes delicious with dipped veggies or chips, with cream cheese, and salsa, or as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.

Ingredients

  • 15 ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 ½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice (~½ lemon)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients into food processor or blender.
  • Blend until smooth (let the food processor run for at least a minute or two).  Scrape down the sides and run the processor again.  
  • Add more water or lemon juice to make creamier or tangier if desired.
  • Add salt to taste and drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Spread over or use as a dip for bread, wraps, and veggies.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Like it spicy?  Add some fresh Jalapeno or ground cayenne pepper.
  • Want some herbs?  Blend up cilantro, basil, or mint depending on what you're dipping.
  • Don't have lemon juice or think lime juice would work better? Cool - knock out the citrus with lime instead.
  • Hummus will thicken as it sits / rests.
