Jalapeno Lime Hummus without Tahini

I used to believe I wasn’t crazy about hummus.  I later found out I was crazy about hummus.  It was the tahini I wasn’t crazy about.

So here is the recipe I am crazy for.

Jalapeno Lime Bean Dip with Fat Free Potato Chips

Did you know you can make fat free potato chips?
They are very good also.

I didn’t know until I ran across one of my favorite little gadgets from Pampered Chef a couple years back.  It is a microwave potato chip maker and it looks like this.

It comes with a stack of two disks where you lay your very thin sliced potato seasoned to preferences. ….but no oil. No spray…..nothing.

Potatoes, salt, and microwaved air.

I can zap one tray in 5 minutes on high. Two trays, stacked, takes 10 minutes rotating the trays after 5.
Of course it depends on your microwave wattage, so if you look onto one you have to experiment.

After I bought mine my sis liked it and found another brand somewhere. Paid like half price of what I did mine, wouldn’t you know.

Anyway on with the dip.
