Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 0.33 cup tahini stirred well
  • 2.5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1.25 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp cold water as needed for consistency
  • 3 tbsp chopped cilantro divided, some for topping
  • 2 tsp minced jalapeño seeded for less heat; optional
  • 0.75 cup diced cherry tomatoes
  • 0.5 cup sweet corn kernels thawed if frozen
  • 0.5 cup diced avocado
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 0.25 cup crumbled cotija or feta
  • 2 tbsp toasted pepitas
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Drain and rinse the black beans well, then shake off excess water.
  • Prep toppings: dice tomatoes and avocado, chop onion and cilantro, and mince jalapeño.
  • Blend the base: add beans, tahini, 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to a food processor.
  • Process until mostly smooth, then drizzle in cold water until ultra creamy.
  • Fold in 1–2 tbsp cilantro and a pinch of jalapeño. Taste and adjust lime or salt.
  • Spread hummus in a shallow bowl. Top with tomatoes, corn, avocado, onion, remaining cilantro, cheese, pepitas, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Serve right away with pita chips or veggie sticks, or chill up to 2 days.

Notes

Variation: Make it vegan by skipping the cheese and adding extra pepitas or diced roasted red pepper. For smoky heat, swap jalapeño with a little chipotle in adobo.
Storage tip: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days. Stir in a splash of water or lime to loosen before serving.
