Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to coat the beans in the spices.
Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the lime juice and remove the skillet from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the burritos by placing an even amount of the black bean and spinach mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and salsa, if desired.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a burrito shape.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade burrito!
