In a food processor, combine the black beans, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and water.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor bowl as needed.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice for tanginess, smoked paprika for a smokier flavor, or salt to taste.
If the hummus is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water at a time and blend until you achieve the desired consistency.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
Optional: Garnish the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and chopped fresh cilantro for extra flavor and presentation.
