Ingredients
  • 1 pouch Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Made Easy
  • 1 can Bush's Best Garbanzo Beans
  • ⅔ cup canned pumpkin
  • chili powder or paprika
  • optional: If you want to add heat, add 1 tsp minced jalapeno or 2 tbsp hot green chiles
Instructions
  1. Drain and rinse a 15 oz can of garbanzo beans.
  2. Dump the pouch of Hummus Made Easy into a food processor with the garbanzo beans and the pumpkin.
  3. Blend the mixture in the food processor until you get the desired consistency, maybe 15-30 seconds. You may need to add a bit of water.
  4. If you want to crank up the spiciness and add some real heat, blend in 1 to 2 tsp minced jalapeno or 2 tbsp hot green chiles. Add a bit at a time to adjust to your desired heat level.
  5. Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with chili powder or paprika. Serve with pita bread, tortilla chips, or veggies.
  6. Enjoy!
Notes
This is normally too thick for a blender, and the blades will tend to spin without circulating the mixture. You can make do with a blender, but you may have to add more liquid and stir frequently to get it to blend.
