Black Bean Hummus

I am currently addicted to hummus. It is so good. I love dipping pita bread in it, but fresh veggies are good too. I think I like this made with the black beans even more than the original hummus. They are both delish!

Ingredients:
2 cans (15oz) black beans
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
12 Kalamata olives, thinly sliced
paprika to sprinkle on top

Directions:
Combine beans, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper in a food processor or blender. Process until mixed or it reaches the desired consistency, scraping the side of the bowl as needed. Spoon the hummus into a bowl and sprinkle with the olives and paprika. Serve with pita chips, bagel chips, fresh cut carrots. Refrigerate leftover.
