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 freshly ground Tellicherry 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.
