Recently, we had a reprieve from the 95+ degree weather, so we have spent some very comfortable evenings on the patio. Sometimes, we just want to have a light dinner or even just hors d’œuvres after a hard day at work. This is a great and easy dip to whip up quickly when all you want to do is relax and debrief. Serve it with pita or tortilla chips and fresh veggies.
Spicy Black Bean Hummus with Ancho Chili Powder
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
7 oz. prepared hummus
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (No fresh jalapenos yet, so I took two chipotles that my sister dried for me last season. I just soaked them in some boiling water and tossed them in the food processor with everything else.)
¼ t. Ancho chili powder (Since I used dried chipotles, I omitted this ingredient this time.)
Salt and pepper
Place black beans, hummus, jalapeno and chili powder in a food processor. Pulse until smooth and blended. Season with salt and pepper.
Sometimes I like to sprinkle a bit of cojita or feta on top. And, the leftovers (if there are any) are great in a wrap with a bit of feta and fresh spinach for lunch the next day.

I love your website. I love your recipe for black bean hummus. I like blackbeans more than garbanzo. This is a great lent recipe, love that. I bookmarked it. Thanks.
Thank you for the kind thoughts. I could eat hummus for every meal!
Now this is a healthy healthy appetizer I love it!
Me, too. Thanks for the comment.
Oh, yum! I eat hummus nearly every day, so a new version is welcome!!! Sounds great~
Thanks, it is a good change of pace! (And, really good in wraps!)
Oh how I would love a 95 degree day!! Actually, I’d just love a day that got over 70. The last week or so we have been experiencing our annual June Gloom… it’s gray, dreary and drizzly. We did get a peek at the sun this afternoon for about 90 minutes, but it was gone again quickly.
This hummus is right up my alley! I love black beans, combine them with hummus and you have a definite hit! Nicely done!
And I would love 70 degree weather about now! 🙂
