Instructions
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, tahini, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Slowly add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water at a time while blending, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning, such as adding more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
