In a large food processor, fitted with a blade, add the hummus ingredients (chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, tahini, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, lime juice, and hot sauce). Run the food processor to blend until the hummus mixture is smooth.
Test, and if it’s too thick, add a very little bit of the chickpeas canning liquid. Run the processor again until you achieve the desired creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and cover tightly. Chill a few minutes before serving. Uncover and smooth the surface of the hummus.
Top with blue cheese crumbles.
Enjoy with celery sticks, carrot sticks, pita bread, or pita chips.
