I don’t own the Twister jar. What are the instructions for the standard jar, please?
I don’t have a twister jar. Can i make this in my regular blender container? What would be the reason for having the twister jar?
every time I try to print out a recipe the words print on top of each other. anyone else having this problem?
Delicious! Love the lime.
Yes, what is the twister jar?
I’m pretty sure the instructions are exactly the same whether you use the twister jar or standard jar.
Same instructions…just in the regular jar…or wild side jar. If it get’s stuck just use a spatula to get it going again.
I only have a wildside jar…can I still follow the instructions and be successful?
Just use it, same instructions

It’s the same instruction. You may want to scrape the sides while pulsing.

is this a miss print
Just made this, pretty tasty and a nice alternative to chick peas. Definitely will make again
Do you cook the beans? The recipe does not say so; I suppose that it’s a raw hummus..Right?
Can this be made without the tahini? Should I delete the 1 tbsp. of liquid from the black beans. Allergy to sesame!
You do not cook the beans for this recipe.
Great recipe that is delicious if your a hummus fan! So many uses, and a great healthy replacement for refried beans. Use on quesadillas, burritos, 7 layer dip or a Mexican pizza base. I like a extra tbsp of lime juice along with fresh cilantro in mine. I make double batches in my wildside jar, and use my own tahini which I also made in my wildside. This is a must try…delicious!
It’s 5g. Thanks for letting us know. We have made the necessary change.
This doesn’t really work in the standard jars "unless" you double the recipe. There is otherwise not enough volume for the blades to work on… I ended up having to transfer the contents to my little cuisinart to get the job done.
On the plus side it is a Great recipe.. especially with a few shreds of roasted red pepper added
Made this today. Soooooo good! I accidentally put in a 1/2 tsp of cayenne and paprika. I liked the extra spice :)
Where have all the comments that were here before gone.
You don’t cook the beans but canned beans are already cooked. If you buy dry beans a soak + cook them yourself it’s much cheaper and healthier (than using the preservatives from the canned beans).
You’d have to decrease the amount of ingredients since the Mini Twister jar is smaller. We would suggest using the FourSide or WildSide jar instead.
will this work in the mini twister jar?
would using raw sesame seeds work instead of tahini? if so, how much?
Just made this. It is amazing! I used roasted garlic, left out the cyanne and added 1/2 t chili powder.
Yes, you can use the same amount of sesame seeds. You can also make tahini with the sesame seeds: http://www.blendtec.com/rec…
So happy to hear that, Dianne! Thanks for sharing. Have a happy day!
I love this recipeI I followed the recipe exactly but added more of the liquid from the beans than the recipe called for. Everyone loved it
will is work with Wild Side; that’s the only jar i have
