RECIPE: Mexican Hummus For Cinco De Mayo
Will you be doing something festive for Cinco de Mayo? Think beyond guacamole. This recipe, from Bush’s Beans, tops the ever-popular hummus with two Mexican favorites—salsa and queso fresco—to create fusion hummus. Even if you’re not doing anything special, serve it as a first course with dinner, or as an accompaniment to a glass of wine or beer beforehand. And yes, you can serve a dish of the equally-ever-popular guacamole alongside it. You can buy plain hummus or make it from scratch. You can make the flavored hummus the day before, and add the toppings before serving. Ingredients |
