Instructions
- For the Pita chips: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime zest and chili powder. Using a pastry brush, brush the mixture on both sides of the bread halves. Sprinkle the breads with salt and pepper. Cut each bread half into 8 wedges and place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until crisp and golden.
- For the hummus: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the avocado, arugula, beans, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the mixture is creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and serve the pita chips alongside.
