Hummus and toasted Pita

This is currently my favorite lunch.. I could eat it every day--well almost.

Hummus and Toasted Pita

1 can garbanzo beans

1 lime - juiced

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic

2 tbs minced onion

garlic powder and salt/pepper to taste

pita pockets cut into wedges

Directions

Drain the garbanzo beans and reserve the liquid.

Put all the ingredients in the food processor except for the pita pockets.

You may add lime zest if you like and add the garbanzo bean juice as needed to bring the hummus to a nice dipping consistency.

The Pita pockets need to be toasted under the broiler for just a short time- so watch them.

Tear a piece off the pita bread and dip into the hummus
