Hummus (a healthy sandwich spread)

I found this on oprah.com/foodhome...
We usually buy hummus at central market westgate.

INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
15 ounces of garbanzo beans (1 can drained and rinsed)
1/2 cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes

In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash 15 ounces garbanzo beans (one can drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 pinch red pepper flakes until a coarse puree forms. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with another 1 tablespoon olive oil.
