This Spicy Black Bean Hummus is creamy with just the right amount of spice. It's made in minutes, and it's much cheaper than store-bought.
It goes great with tortilla chips, in tacos, a vegan quesadilla, or with veggies. Make a Vegan Mexican Tortilla Pizza and replace the refried beans with this hummus recipe.
Another spicy bean dip is my Chipotle Black Bean Dip. It has maple syrup to add some sweetness.
If you like things a bit milder, try my Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.

- It's versatile. Eat it with tortilla chips, vegetables, or in a burrito.
- It is creamy and flavorful.

🧾 Ingredients
- Black beans: Adds the texture, flavor, and creaminess hummus is known for.
- Tahini: Also a traditional hummus ingredient. Adds a nutty sesame flavor.
- Serrano pepper: Adds spice. If you don't like a lot of spice, you could remove the seeds and ribs, use a jalapeño pepper instead, or leave it out. Another spicy hummus is my Hatch Chile Hummus recipe.
- Chili powder and cumin: Add a taco flavor.
- Sriracha sauce: For even more spice.
- Lemon juice: Adds a bright tart flavor.
- Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
- Olive oil: Adds creaminess.
- Salt: Enhances the other flavors. I like to use sea salt.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Add drained and rinsed black beans, tahini, lemon juice, chopped serrano pepper, sriracha sauce, and spices in a food processor.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy. Let sit overnight to thicken.
💭 Tips
- With most of my hummus recipes, I add water. With this recipe, it's not needed because black beans contain more water than chickpeas.
- Taste as you go - you may want more or less spice than I've included.
- Let it sit overnight to thicken. It doesn't get as thick as chickpea hummus, but it will thicken a bit.
