Though it might not be the first thing that comes to mind, I think pinto beans can be transformed into a delicious hummus. Just blend them up with some garlic, lemon juice, and tahini for a creamy dip that's perfect with veggies or pita chips

You can use them as a dip for tortilla chips or crackers as well! Just blend cooked pinto beans with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and your favorite spices to create your own creamy and flavorful bean dip.
