Add chickpeas, avocado, cilantro, garlic, hot sauce (if using), salt, cumin and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor.
Begin processing on low speed.
While processing, slowly add 3 tablespoons of olive oil through the feed tube of the food processor.
Switch to high speed and process until smooth and creamy and no chunks remain. You may have to stop to scrape down the sides and continue processing. Add more olive oil if necessary.
