Refried Bean Hummus
This refried bean hummus is a creamy dip made with pinto beans, garlic, paprika, lime juice, and spices! A great appetizer or creamy side dish recipe. The perfect dip for veggies, tortilla chips, or to spread on toast or a sandwich for extra plant based protein.
Ingredients
- 2 13.5 ounce cans refried beans or 3 1/2 cups homemade beans, see note below
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 limes juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- Garnish green onion, sesame seeds, or cilantro
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the refried beans, garlic, tahini, smoked paprika, lime juice, chili flakes and black pepper. Mix well with a wooden spoon until the hummus is a smooth consistency. If it's too thick, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil at a time, until it reaches the consistency you prefer.
- Place hummus into a bowl or plate, top with more chili flakes, fresh chopped green onion, and sesame seeds to garnish. Dip away!
Notes
If you don't want to use refried beans from a can, you can use pinto beans (drain and mash before adding) or make my delicious Instant Pot refried beans which are ready in 45 minutes and lower in sodium.
