Ingredients
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, tahini, olive oil, lime juice, garlic cloves, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Add the water one tablespoon at a time while blending to achieve your desired consistency. The hummus should be smooth but not runny.
Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and sprinkle smoked paprika on top for garnish.
Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and an extra drizzle of olive oil for presentation.
Serve immediately with your choice of fresh vegetables, pita chips, crackers, or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
