  Nice flavor - makes a good filling for a burrito. Top with a little nonfat shredded cheese and heat. Serve with chopped lettuce and tomato. Makes a great lunch for under 300 calories. - 7/9/09

  Delicious, I used curry powder because I was out of cumin and it came out out of this world! I think this may be my new favorite dip for tortilla chips. - 4/12/09

  I added 2 cloves of roasted garlic to the beans in the processor and switched out chopped green onions for the cilantro. Took it to work and only got 1 small tablespoon of it once everyone else tasted it! :-) Staff has now started buying the ingredients for me to make it and bring it in! - 7/9/09

  I added salsa (mild as that's the intensity I like) for added flavor and to thin instead of water or broth. I mixed it in by hand to keep the chunky consistancy. Thx for sharing such a veratile recipe. - 7/9/09

  Great recipe! I have made this many times but w/o the cilantro, green pepper, & broth. Instead, I fold in spicy salsa. I serve this on top of whatever mixed veggies I have cooked up, sprinkle 1/4 cup of reduced fat cheese on top and heat up/melt in microwave. Very satisfying meal. - 7/9/09

  Added 1 tsp of ground chipotle pepper to the recipe as well and this came out tremendous. I've made several times now substituting 1 can black and white not always using 2 cans black beans. Comes out great every time!!! - 7/9/09

  After reading the above comments, I made some changes (because I'm broke). I only used a bag of dried black beans (which yields 6 c.), black bean & corn salsa (1.5 c.), onion, garlic & cumin. It was amazing!! We ate it with tortillas, on turkey tacos, and even as just a bean & veggie wrap. Thanks!! - 10/14/09

  Lovely beans! I like to add chopped tomatoes, depending on how I'm serving it, as a dip or a filling. Spoonful on top of a salad composé (think "tossed salad only in layers and not tossed") is wonderful. Toasting cumin seeds dry and then grinding = Amazing & fragrant, worth the extra step. - 9/3/09

  SO good! I made a half batch, but doubled the grn pepper and didn't use the broth, just pulsed it a few more times to make the whole thing creamy. I added tomatoes and cheese and made burritos and they were great! This may be a new "go-to" recipe for appetizers and quick dinners. Thanks! - 8/4/09

  Would make again. Suggest adding spicy salsa and reducing cumin. I've used it as a burrito filling, quesadilla filling, and a dip. I made in blender because I don't have food processor... word of advice: Don't! You will need to add more liquid in order to get the blades spinning well. - 1/20/10

  This was yummie! I cut the recipie in half, but kept the same amount of onion. I didn't have broth, so I used the water from the can of beans. I also didn't have cilantro, but it was still yummie! I will definitely make it again (next time I won't use all the water though; it was a little runny.). - 9/29/09

  Good recipe. I wound up putting the cilantro in the hummus rather than just as a garnish. Then I added about a teaspoon of salt. Next I thought I would try it with a little zing and added some jalapeno sauce. It made a great bean dip. I would have added some lime, but I didn't have any. - 9/7/09

  Spark this up by using fresh or reconstituted LIME juice in place of part of the broth. Be sure to shop for low sodium canned beans and give them a quick rinse. If you are adding salsa, not really a hummus -- then go all out with a black bean salsa. - 8/12/10

  Very yummy! I added a couple pinches of kosher salt to mine to bring out the flavors (I rinsed my canned beans really well, so much of the sodium from the can was gone.) I also left out the peppers (not a fave in our house). Made a burrito this morning; hubby plans to scoop with baked pita chips. - 2/5/10

  Not my fave. I love black beans, this just went totally wrong. Might be better if black beans were cooked first since straight out of can they tend to be crunchy. Its also lacking in flavor, tried multiple spices but just couldn't make it taste good, too crunchy. - 9/29/09
