Awesome recipe! I agree with the comments and used less oil and chili powder. I added about a tablespoon of chopped cilantro and used lemon instead of lime juice. This is a quick and easy wonderful appetizer!

The recipe itself from the Book is awesome. The recipe above is way off from the book. Below is what I remember from making it yesterday:
Garbanzo and Black beans need to be drained and washed, not noted above but is in the book.
It's 1/3 of a cup mix of canola and olive oil and not 3 cups olive oil. I doubled the recipe so I did 1/3 cup of each.
I believe the actual recipe calls for more Cayenne but I will have to check.
It's 1 and a half juiced limes and not 1/2 lime, juiced
It's 4 tables spoons of chili powder I believe.
It's 1 tablespoon of Tahini and not About 3/4 teaspoon tahini
2 small cloves of garlic chopped is in the book recipe and NOT mentioned at all here.
The recipe calls for a little water as well, I believe just 1/3 of a cup.
Not sure how the online recipe can be so different from the book recipe.
Hope this helps.

I love this stuff! Its a totally different take on hummus, its almost like a taco dip. I took some to work and it was completely inhaled by my co-workers in under five minutes! Another thing I really liked about it was that it still tasted great without the tahini, which I hate to buy because of the high price and, and I wouldn't really use it for anything else than hummus. I simply add a few drops of seasame oil. By the way, the oil measurement is waaay off! Try starting with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of olive oil. This hummus also freezes really well.
