Miriam,

Hummus is defined differently in Lebanon, Israel, etc. There is no one hummus. In fact, if you ask for hummus in some places, they’ll hand you bag of raw chickpeas.
So hummus made with tahini is just one kind of traditional hummus. Middle Easterners call this hummus bi tahina.

It’s interesting that you add Tahineh to the Hummus.  But technically, then, it’s not traditional hummus, which is made only with chickpeas, lemon, garlic, and salt.
