Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
• 3 Tbsp. tahini
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, packed
• 1/2 cup onion (yellow or white)
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
• pinch of salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a food processor, and blend until smooth. Add in a tablespoon or two of water (or leftover juice from the canned beans) if you’d like a thinner consistency, and blend until smooth.

2. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, and serve or refrigerate.
