Make your own black bean hummus that is tangy and garlicky – perfect for dipping and taking in your lunch!

One of my favorite places to eat lunch with friends and co-workers is called Elote. It’s got a fun, hippie Mexican vibe, and they even have Luchador fights on the weekends. They’ve got an amazing chicken burrito that is covered in queso – you can’t really go wrong. One of their side options is a black bean hummus and carrots. I can’t eat raw carrots because of OAS (read more about OAS here!) so I always get chips with the hummus instead. Their hummus has an awesome tangy flavor. I wish I could eat there every day, but I can’t exactly afford (financially or health-wise) to eat there all the time!

I’m not really a bean person, but I do like black beans. I figured I’d try to make a black bean hummus like Elote’s! Mine ended up tasting a whole lot like regular hummus, but better! Justin likes his a little spicy, so you can always up the amount of cayenne for a bigger kick. This recipe easily scales up, and I plan on doubling it this upcoming week for taking in our lunches. It goes well with pita chips, corn chips, crackers or veggies. I’ve even had it on a salted rice cake!

Homegrown Spotlight: We’re working through our garden grown garlic! We are going to e super sad when it’s all gone. Hopefully it lasts a bit longer!

Have you had other hummus recipes made with other types of beans? Tell me about it!

      So they’re like the only kind of bean I’ll eat. Something about chickpeas are too mushy or something. But this is good, I promise!!

      Totally is! I thought it tasted really similar to normal hummus, too. I think the lime makes it a little Mexican-inspired. 🙂

      Hey Marie!

      I grew tomatoes, basil. Tried green beans and squash but neither really took off this year! Also made about 10 carrots…that was exciting. Haha!
