1 garlic clove
15-ounce can black beans rinsed and drained; reserve some of the bean liquid
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon tahini
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
⅛ - ¼ teaspoon cayenne
2-3 Tablespoons lemon juice
1-2 Tablespoons reserved bean liquid
¼ cup cilantro

Pulse the garlic first in a food processor until minced.
Add the rest of the ingredients up to the cilantro and process until smooth.
Pulse in the cilantro until mixed.
Use enough lemon to suit your taste and bean liquid to make it as thin or thick as you like. I used about 2 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice and about 2 tablespoons of bean liquid.
Serve as desired.
