Ingredients

1 peeled clove garlic

1 small jalapeño pepper, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper)

15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained (I use Eden since the can’s lining is BPA-free)

1 tablespoon tahini

Juice from one lemon

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Add the garlic and jalapeño pepper to a food processor or blender and puree. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to a week. Nutritiona
