Easy black bean hummus is healthy and makes a great dip for vegetables. It also makes a great spread for wraps. Low in calories and delicious.

Hummus is one of my favorite snacks to eat because it makes a great, hardy snack that is filling and being healthy. I enjoy eating hummus as a dip for vegetables and as a spread on wraps.

It’s also a great replacement to dressings and sauces. Traditionally, hummus is made with chickpeas as the base, which is why it’s usually lighter in color. For this easy black bean hummus recipe, I use black beans which can also be blended down into a smooth consistency, the same as chickpeas. 

I use some of my favorite flavors with cilantro, lime and jalapeño. Typically, I prefer my hummus to be on the spicier side. However, the heat can be controlled by adding as little or as many jalapeño seeds as desired. I added the whole pepper to mine and loved it.
