Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Combine the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the skillet. Stir well to coat the beans and vegetables with the spices.
Cook the bean mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked rice and chopped fresh cilantro.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Spoon an equal portion of the black bean mixture into the center of each tortilla.
Top with shredded cheese and salsa. Add sour cream if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil to keep warm until ready to eat.
