This recipe can be doubled or tripled, if you are serving it for a crowd (i.e. holidays, gatherings, game day).

tahini (ground sesame seeds)

Drain the chickpeas and save the canning liquid (see the video of how I do this).
In a food processor, add chickpeas, fresh minced garlic, tahini, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 tsp. Kosher salt and pulse. Slowly add in the chickpea water, pulsing in between to get the right consistency. Scrap down the sides of the food processor, if you need to.
Transfer into a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil, more salt, if you wish and fresh ground pepper, to taste. Optionally, sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds. Enjoy, with your favorite tortilla chips or bread!
