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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
I love to serve these gluten free cheesy pinto beans with tortilla chips as a snack. They are perfect on a gluten free tortilla shell to make a bean burrito or with meat and veggie. I also enjoy this recipe as a side dish with rice and barbecued meat.
