Black Bean Jalapeno Hummus

December 28, 2014 ·

This easy recipe for Black Bean Jalapeno Hummus using black beans in lieu of garbanzo beans, results in a healthy dip (or spread) the whole family will love! Thank you to Pompeian for sponsoring this post as part of the Pantry Insiders program.

Black Bean Jalapeno Hummus is an easy recipe for a healthy hummus made with black beans and jalapeno peppers. This recipe is part inspired by my Jalapeno Hummus recipe and otherwise inspired by my love of black beans. Even though hummus is traditionally made with garbanzo beans (chickpeas), in this recipe it was fun to mix things up a bit. You can definitely taste the black beans, which goes amazingly well with the spices and jalapeno peppers. The tahini rounds everything out, giving it that hummus flavor that we all know and love….

It is not overly dough-y or overly cheesy, but a nice balance of the two. And the garlic butter really makes it special. The result is a cheese filled garlic mini pizza bread that is made for dipping. Pizza sauce seemed like an obvious dipper, until I realized this Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread is quite similar to mini grilled cheese. What goes best with grilled cheese, but soup of course!
