Process the tahini and olive oil: In a food processor, combine the tahini and olive oil and pulse until smooth.

Add the garlic, beans, lemon juice, water, and salt: Add the garlic, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, water, and salt. Process until smooth. The longer you process in the food processor, the smoother the hummus will be. Add more salt or lemon juice to taste.
