Sometimes you get tired of garbanzo bean hummus. Or sometimes no matter how many times you paw through the cans on the pantry shelves, those chickpeas remain illusive.

This pinto bean hummus could also masquerade as “refried” beans – without the refry – but all of the expected flavors are right there. All you’d have to do is warm it up prior to eating. I served mine at room temperature in a wrap loaded with broccoli slaw, baby kale, sprouts and generous portions of ranch dressing.

    Oh. so. good! Pintos are my favorite bean. Hands down. Well, actually it’s a fight with black beans and garbanzos, but hey. I’m in love. Thanks for the Ranch Dressing shout out 😉 xx

      I agree, black bean, pinto beans and “garbanzo”, are the best beans! why do English people even say chick pea, garbanzo is way cooler! Ann this hummus looks awesome!

        I used the word ‘garbanzo’ with a fellow Brit recently and they had no idea what I was talking about, it’s just not used over here.

    I would never have thought of using pinto beans in place of chickpeas but it looks great. I love the wee owls, too. 🙂

    This looks amazing! I’ve tried hummus’s made from different beans, but I’ve never tried making them before, even though I’ve always wanted to! And I love refried beans, so I’ve got to give this a try!

    Ooh this looks great! I ate so much chickpea hummus over the holidays, I’m definitely ready to mix things up!

    I’m not sure I could handle pinto bean hummus. I think it would be too close to refried beans for me and we eat those a lot, minus the frying part.
    I do vary my flavors up on hummus often though.

        I’ve had them at least 3 times this week so I’m probably good. 😉 I’ve had fresh avocado so “unfried” beans were the perfect accompaniment.

    That would be nice to dehydrate for this coming summer, it’d make a good spread for wraps when hiking 🙂

    Great idea. Why not branch out from garbanzos? And the spice combo also sounds like a refreshing change. Thanks!

    I’m a sucer for refried beans. but I’ve been trying to avoid them in my tacos–which is why I switched to using hummus. Now I can absolutely have the best of both worlds without the guilt and fat. Woohoo!!

    Yummy! We’re always looking for more spreadable goodness – this would be a great addition to burrito night. Thanks!

    Oh my gosh that looks absolutely delectable! Your pictures are always so beautiful. Presentation is always key, and you know this very well. Before we eat food with our mouths we must first eat food with our eyes and I’ve got my mouth full right about now!

    I love this idea! I’m the kind of person who may or may not have eaten refried beans straight from the can in college. This looks like a much healthier and better tasting version of my lazy college girl snack!

    I doubled the recipe – added a bit more lime juice, some water and evo, as well … used soy sauce. Rather than cilantro, used spinach. Yummy … love the texture. I make tons of garbanzo hummus; this is a great alternative. And, yes, I love pinto beans, too.
