    This easy recipe for gluten free cheesy pinto beans is delicious as a dip with tortilla chips or in your bean burritos. This bean dip recipe is baked with cheesy on top and served hot. It is a Mexican style bean dish full of flavor and spices.

    I like to serve this dish hot right of the oven, but bean dip recipe is also delicious cold out the refrigerator the next day too. If the dip is a bit too thick the next day you can add 1 tablespoon olive oil and reheat to make the dish creamy again.

    What can I add to beans for flavor?

    My favorite options to add flavor are onions, minced garlic and of course spices. For this recipe I combined smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin and salt to give these beans lots of flavor. You can use regular ground paprika, but smoked has a lot more flavor in my opinion.
