List of Ingredients



• 1 can black beans
  
• 2 T. liquid from can of beans
  
• squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice
  
• 1/4 t. onion powder
  
• 1/4 t. garlic powder
  
• 1/2 t. coriander
  
• 1/4 t. cumin
  
• dash of cayenne pepper
  
• big pinch of salt
  
• Whole Wheat Pita Chips:
  
• 2 whole rounds of whole wheat pita bread (or four halves)
  
• olive oil
  
• kosher salt or coarse sea salt
  






Instructions



1. To make chips: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
   
2. Using a basting brush, lightly coat both sides of pita with olive oil.
   
   
3. If using whole pita, cut each round in half then cut each half into four triangles. You should end up with 16 pieces.
   
   
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment (optional but makes clean up a breeze) then spread pita pieces out in a single layer. Sprinkle lightly with coarse salt. Turn pieces over and sprinkle the other sides lightly with salt.
   
   
5. Place baking sheet in oven and set timer for 5 minutes. Bake pita until the edges are brown and crisp, checking the first time at five minutes and then watching closely. Total baking time will be less than 10 minutes.
   
   
6. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
   
   
7. Serve with your favorite dip.
   
8. Drain beans, reserving 2 tablespoons of liquid, then rinse in a strainer.
   
   
9. Add beans, reserved liquid, lemon juice and all remaining ingredients to a food processor, mini food processor or blender.
   
10. Process until smooth then taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
    
    
11. Serve with pita chips, corn chips, or your favorite crackers.
