Avocado Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the hummus, avocados, lemon juice and cayenne in a food processor and puree until smooth; add salt to taste.
• Transfer the hummus to a shallow bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a little cayenne. Serve with the assorted sliced vegetables.

Steps:

• Combine the beans, avocados, parsley, lemon juice, salt, cumin, pepper, garlic and 3/4 cup of the cilantro in a food processor. Pulse 2 to 3 times, or until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Gradually add the olive oil and process until the mixture is creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the queso fresco and garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro leaves. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• For the pita chips: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, chili powder and lime zest if using. Brush the mixture on both sides of the bread halves using a pastry brush. Sprinkle the breads with the salt and pepper. Cut each bread half into 8 wedges and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
