Follow the instructions on the bag of beans to soak the beans overnight.  The next morning, drain and rinse the beans well.  Cook them until done.  I added salt to the water while they were cooking.

When the beans are done, let them cool.  Once they are cool, put them in a food processor with about 1/4 of the chopped onion, salt if needed, a little pepper, and about 1 tsp. of cumin.  Process until blended and creamy like a bean dip.

For the pita chips, simple take a piece of pita bread and slice it like a pizza.  You can slice it into whatever size slices you prefer.  Since the pita bread is hollow in the middle, once you slice it you need to separate the two pieces in each slice.  Lay them flat on a baking sheet.  Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.  There is no need for any oil on these.  Toast them in toaster oven on toast setting or bake in oven until they start to brown.  The darker brown they get, the crispier they'll be.  Here's two pictures:  one of the whole pita bread and the other of the slices.


Serve with your favorite toppings like salsa, cheese, onion, etc.  Just a note, when buying prepared salsas at the store, be sure to check the ingredients as many have sugar in them.  There are some brands though that don't have any sugar in them.  Of course, you could make your own homemade salsa which would be even better.  For more healthy recipes, click HERE.
