Chipotle Hummus

Is it healthy to eat bean and nut paste mixed with oil? I'm suspicious that this must be unhealthy because it tastes so very, very good. I got it from epicurious.com (Bon Appetit originally) and modified it to make it extra yummy.

Ingredients

2 15oz cans of chick peas (garbanzos), drained

3/4 cup of water

1/4 cup tahini

Juice of 2 lemons

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 teaspoons minced chipotle chiles (canned with adobo sauce)

2 large garlic cloves

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 6 oz jar of roasted red pepper, chopped
