1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.

3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes.

4. Drain excess fat from the skillet and reduce heat to medium.

5. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until the beef is well-coated with the spices.

6. Add the drained and rinsed black beans to the beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook for additional 2-3 minutes.

7. In a separate pot, have cooked white rice ready, or reheat if prepared in advance.

8. Warm the tortillas either on a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

9. To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla flat and place about 1/3 cup of the ground beef and bean mixture in the center.

10. Add a few spoonfuls of cooked rice over the beef, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

11. Top with a spoonful of salsa and a dollop of sour cream, then sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.

12. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom to make a burrito.

13. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade ground beef burritos!
