Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly. This helps to remove excess sodium and enhances the flavor of the hummus.
Transfer the black beans to the bowl of a food processor.
Add tahini, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture a few times to break down the beans and blend the ingredients together.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the mixture to help achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Continue to blend until the hummus is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve with sliced vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, or cucumber for dipping.
