Yummy Avocado Hummus SpreadIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 avocado (big one, or 2 small ones)
1 cup chickpeas (about 1/3 cup dry chickpeas, soaked overnight)
1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil if you want
garlic (either salt or powder or minced or squashed)
spices (I added some curry powder, and some powdered chili, but you can do what ever)
1/2 of a lime squeezed (I’m in Mexico right now and everything taste better with lime right now)
Directions:You can do this two ways, one way it to whip out the fossil fuel driven food processor and blend it, the other is to whip out the old fashion fork or some mashing device, I used the latter.
Mash the chickpeas, add some oil if you want, mash up the avocado, add the garlic, and mix in your spices.
You can spread this on to some flax crackers or I made some tortillas thick and spread it on that.
The basics of this recipe is the chick peas with the avocado, the rest of it just what you feel like today, so adding tomatoes, onions, or corn just makes it healthier.
Serves: about 1 lunch worth
Preparation time: 15 minutes or less
