Blend the base. In the bowl of a food processor, combine pinto beans, green chilies, tahini, lime juice & olive oil. Blend until mostly smooth.
Add the seasonings. Sprinkle in cumin, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, black pepper, salt, and cilantro if using. Blend again, scraping down the sides.
Taste & adjust. Add more salt, lime juice, or spices as desired. If for some reason the consistency is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil or water to thin out to desired texture.
Serve & enjoy. Garnish with extra cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Serve with tortilla chips, gluten free pita bread, raw vegetables, or use as a spread.
