How

  • 1
    Preheat the grill to 180 degrees Celsius, or set your oven to 200 degrees Celsius if you don't have a grill.
  • 2
    Take an oven dish and add a thin layer of olive oil.
  • 3
    Mix the olive oil with smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir until you have a consistent paste.
  • 4
    Add the kidney beans and corn to the seasoned olive oil in the oven dish. Ensure they're well coated.
  • 5
    Place the dish in the oven for at least 10 minutes, or longer if you prefer a crispier texture. Once done, set it aside. Also note that it may take longer in the oven.
  • 6
    While the bread is baking, prepare the veggies. Slice the radishes thinly for a more delicate flavor. Get the iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers ready.
  • 7
    When the bread is ready, cut it open and spread a generous layer of hummus.
  • 8
    Layer on the iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, parsley, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers. Finish with the roasted kidney beans and corn.
