Chicken Avocado Lime Soup

The hubby bought a bag of limes last week, so I've had to figure out what to do with them. Although margaritas come to mind, I decided to first (re-)make Salsa Verde (Green Chili), then made Green Chili Breakfast Burrito Casserole and tonight Chicken Avocado Lime Soup. I added black beans, corn, and green chili.  I served it with tortillas, sour cream and shredded cheese. Definitely a good one for a cold night. :)

Black Bean Hummus

We are on a health-kick and craving hummus. However, I didn't have any garbanzo beans so I got to thinking probably any bean would work. I substituted with black beans and no actually prefer them over garbanzos. I used the following recipe loosely. I soaked them in a crockpot for 12 hours then cooked them for 12 more (a requirement at 6500 ft elevation) and ended up adding Tahini and garlic. Great alternative to traditional hummus :)
