This recipe makes four 9" crusts and freezes well unbaked.

This is the perfect dish to prepare with leftover refried beans and hot sauce or spicy chili. In fact, this dish is such a fine tasting casserole that you may want to make it from scratch, which will be time-consuming at first, but worth consuming in the end!

“This wonderful bean spread has gained in popularity over the past few years. Our version has all the benefits of a more traditional recipe, but with less olive oil. The combination of garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas), tahini, lemon juice, cumin and garlic is a show-stopper. This is wonderful as a sandwich spread or as a dip with raw vegetables or pita triangles. Keep a batch in your refrigerator all the time and you’ll never be without a nutritious snack or lunch.”
