How do I counteract too much oil in my Hummus?

I made some black bean hummus today and added WAY too much olive oil. It almost tastes like mayonaise now! Blech! I tried adding hot sauce, more lemon juice, more salt and some salsa and non of that helped. Without adding another can of beans (I REALLY don't need that much of the stuff!) how can I fix it?!?

Update:

Thanks for answering Erin. I am bored with regular chickpea hummus, edemame hummus went bad to fast and I wanted to try something new. Certainly can't "squeeze" out the oil since it's already emulsified. Thanks though!

Update 2:

Thanks chefbijut! I've already added several tablespoons. Will adding more effect the flavor (other than counteracting the oil)?

    I have always heard of chickpeas for hummus. Try that. See if you can push the humus up the side of bowl and see if some of the oil can be removed. Try adding some more beans and stir until its thick again.
