2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño pepper
Salt & pepper to taste
Drizzle of olive oil
Roasted kidney beans and corn
Ingredients
60 milliliters olive oil
1 big teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 lime (juice)

Instructions
01
Preheat the grill to 180 degrees Celsius, or set your oven to 200 degrees Celsius if you don't have a grill.
02
Take an oven dish and add a thin layer of olive oil.
03
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.

Add the kidney beans and corn to the seasoned olive oil in the oven dish. Ensure they're well coated.
05
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.

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.
07
When the bread is ready, cut it open and spread a generous layer of hummus.
08
Layer on the iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, parsley, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers. Finish with the roasted kidney beans and corn.

Drizzle olive oil on the top half of the bread, and place the other half on top.
