Avocado Hummus: So Versatile and Soo Good

I love making this recipe because it is easy, quick, and versatile.  You can use it to make  stuffed cherry tomatoes, use it as a dip served with pita chips, or a sandwich spread (it goes great with turkey) to name a few uses.

The taste is a little Southwestern with a little Middle Eastern.  No matter how you use it the result is simply delicious.

                                         Avocado Hummus

Ingredients:

1 cup canned garbanzo beans rinsed and drained

3 Haas avocados

½ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder

1-teaspoon onion powder

1 ½ tablespoon tahini

1.   Put the garbanzo beans in a food processor and process until       coarsely pureed.

 2.  Cut avocados in half, remove the seed and scoop out the flesh into a medium size-mixing bowl.

3. Squeeze the lime juice over the avocado flesh.  Toss to coat well.        Drain any excess lime juice.

4. Mash the avocados with a potato masher.

5. To the mashed avocados add the garbanzo beans, garlic salt, ground cumin, chipotle chili powder, onion powder, and tahini.
