I prefer to use black beans since the \u201cbean\u201d flavor is more subtle and they produced a creamier texture, but you can really use whatever you happen to have.<br \/>\n* If you use canned beans and there\u2019s salt already added, reduce the salt in this recipe to just a pinch.<br \/>\n** If you choose garbanzo beans, remove the skin from the bean first. You can do this by pinching the bean between your thumb and index finger, and the skin will peel off. This helps to create a creamier texture when using garbanzo beans.<\/p>\n<h3>On The Menu<\/h3>\n<p>We have reached the end of the 2022 football season&#8217;s tasty tailgate treats.
