Black Bean Hummus

Black Bean Hummus 
(I double this recipe)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed well
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp tahini* (I couldn't find it at the store and didn't want to go searching so I used toasted sesame oil)
2-3 cloves garlic
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 red pepper flakes
paprika, for color

Combine all ingredients except paprika in a food processor. Process until mixed, scraping the sides as needed. Spoon hummus into a bowl and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with pita chips, bagel chips or tortilla chips.

*tahini is sesame paste. If you can't find either, it can be made. http://greek.food.com/recipe/homemade-tahini-73859

Optional: keep out a few of the black beans to stir in after it's been processed.
