1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon) 
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons tahini
salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
paprika to decorate

Directions:

1.  Combine chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic and tahini in blender or
food processor and blend until smooth. Add water as necessary (start out with about a 1/4 cup and go up from there depending on how thick or thin you want it).

2. Pour hummus in serving dish and top with a sprinkle of paprika and the olive oil.

note: if you don't want to use canned beans you can cook 3/4 cup of dried chickpeas, and use some cooking liquid instead of the water. 
you can also add sun dried tomatoes or cilantro to give it a little twist.
