Ingredients

  • 2 Cans Garbanzo Beans, rinsed, drained (3 cups cooked)
  • 3 Tbsp. Garbanzo Bean Liquid
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 2 tsp. Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp. Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp. Ground Coriander
  • 1/4 tsp. Ground Dried Chipotle or Chili Flakes

  • 1 tsp. Lime Zest
  • 1 Tbsp. Lime Juice
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Cilantro
  • 1/4 Cup thinly sliced Green Onions

Directions
