Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and chopped onions and sauté until the onions are softened.
Add crushed garlic, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and cumin. Sauté with the onions for a minute until the spices are fragrant.
Add pinto beans and water and stir in.
Cover the pan and let them cook for 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and remove the lid. Use a potato masher to mash up the beans until you reach the desired consistency - you can leave it chunky, or mash them very well for a smooth consistency.
Let the mashed beans cook for 2-3 minutes more, stirring regularly.
Remove from the heat and add chopped cilantro, sea salt and lime juice. Taste test and add more salt if needed. If it seems too dry, add a little water and mix in.
Keep them covered until you're ready to serve.
