April 12, 2018 at 9:38 amSo good! I ended up using half a can of chickpeas (so a bit more than half a cup) and chipotle chili pepper in place of the cayenne. I spread it on whole grain naan and topped with spinach and tomato slices. I could eat this every day!

June 5, 2018 at 11:42 amJust made with ingredients I had. It was delicious. I put in a Millet and flax wrap. One thing to note chickpeas + bread or wrap is double carbs. Chickpeas are an excellent source of protein but starchy. Keep in mind with portion of chickpeas if you are adding to grains (rice, bread, wrap), sweet potato. Good to have an idea for balanced eating.
