1 can of chick peas drained (not rinsed)
2-3 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive oil
Chop up the garlic as fine as you can, & add it to a bowl containing the chick peas & olive oild. WIth a fork or a potato masher... MASH AWAY
Just make it as smooth as you can on your own. & add garlic powder or any other seasoning you like if you want more flavor
I make this all the time! Its fast & healthy!

10 min 10 min prep
1 1/2 cups chickpeas, cooked and reserve liquid (or equivalent canned chickpeas with liquid saved)
3 tablespoons tahini, preferably homemade
2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (I like my hummous a bit more lemony)
2 tablespoons bland oil
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder, very lightly dry roasted
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley (no more than 1 tablespoon parsley or the hummous will turn an unappetizing green, and definitely not)
1 dash paprika
Garnish
sumaq
parsley sprigs
15 mins Dip appetizer
Vegan Dip appetizer
Chick peas/Garbanzos Dip appetizer
Place all the ingredients except for reserved bean liquid into a food processor or blender. While appliance is running begin gradually pouring some of the bean liquid down the feeding tube. (Do not use water to thin the hummous.) Process until smooth and creamy. If the appliance is laboring you need to add more liquid.
Scrape down sides of appliance. Taste test hummous and add more salt, lemon, etc if necessary. Hummous should be not too garlicky, not too lemony, not too pasty from the sesasme seeds- a happy medium.
Transfer prepared hummous to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil around the inner edges of the bowl and a sprinkle of sumac. Lastly, garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley.
Serve with chips, cut up vegetables, baked pita triangles, etc.

I think this is what you are looking for!!!!!!!!
This basic hummus recipe calls for using canned garbanzo beans. I've made hummus using dried beans, soaking them, cooking them, etc. but the results just weren't as good. The canned beans actually mash up pretty well.
4 garlic cloves, minced and then mashed
2 15-oz cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
2/3 cup of tahini (roasted, not raw)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Pine nuts (toasted) and parsley (chopped) for garnish
In a food processor, combine the mashed garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add salt, starting at a half a teaspoon, to taste.
Spoon into serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley.
Serve with crackers, raw dip vegetables such as carrots or celery, or with pita bread. You can cut the pita bread into thin triangles, brush with olive oil and toast for 10 minutes in a 400°F oven to make pita chips with which to serve the hummus.
Makes about 3 cups.

Go to the local store, and pick some up. Sorry - without a food processor, I don't think you'll ever get the right texture - it'll never be really smooth.
Although, you can try... Canned Chickpeas, olive oil, garlic, Sun-dried Tomato... Salt to taste. Just mash everything together - I've never tired it, but it might work for you in a pinch.

you don't need a procesor, but tahini is what really makes it.
you can get away with chick peas (smashed), olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper for a really basic hummus.
