Heat the oven to 475°
In a 10" ovenproof frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the garlic and cook about one minute
Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes, and cumin. Fry for ~30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the beans, water, salt and pepper. Stir to combine
Sprinkle evenly with the cheese, then put in the oven to bake for about 5-10 minutes.
If you want your cheese extra brown, broil 1-2 minutes
