This easy hummus is a combo of two favorite things – a creamy, spreadable hummus dip made with tahini and olive oil with some favorite salsa ingredients like fresh cilantro, chipotle peppers, and chili seasonings. Instead of chickpeas, we’ve got black beans and instead of lemon juice, it has a twist of lime. It’s a Middle Eastern meets Mexican mash-up that is perfect for all the appetizer-worthy events like game-day, holidays, and happy hours.

And, of course, it’s easy. As in, pop everything in the food processor and blend. If you make it ahead it only gets better because the time allows all the flavors to fully mix, mingle, and marry together.

  • ingredients blended in the food processor.

Garnishes and Scoopers/Dippers

You can serve the hummus just as it is or dress it up with garnishes.

  • Spoon some pico de gallo on top. You can use prepared pico de gallo or make homemade pico. You could also use some salsa.
  • Add a little adobo sauce from the can of chipotle pepper. Just a smear will do.
  • Sprinkle some chopped cilantro over the top.
  • For serving, add some pita bread, pita chips, tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or crackers for scooping and dipping.

FAQ

How long does it keep?

It will keep well for three to four days in the refrigerator.

Can you freeze black bean hummus?

No, it won’t freeze so can’t I recommend it.

Can you use other kinds of beans?

You can go more traditional and use chickpeas (garbanzo beans) for this recipe. Or try some white beans like cannellini beans.

What is tahini?

It’s a Middle Eastern sauce or paste made from sesame seeds. You can buy tahini at the grocery store or you can make your own homemade tahini (recipe from Amira’s Pantry) if you’re feeling very DIY.

Can you make hummus without tahini?

Yes, you can leave it out if you prefer. It will just have a different flavor.

Happy hummus-making!
