Recipe for Rich Black Bean Hummus Spread

Salsas, Sauces, Spreads & Seasonings Tempting Smoky Flavor

This spread is similar to a chickpea hummus but includes chipotle pepper, cumin, and the tempting smokiness of paprika (buy a new bottle just for this dish). This classic Central American preparation (it’s even an ingredient in ice cream!) can be used to fill fajitas, layer into tacos, or add to healthy natural nacho chip platters. A tablespoon or two in broth also creates a speedy black bean soup.
