In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat and return the skillet to the heat.
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the beef is evenly coated with the spices.
Add the water to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the meat is well-seasoned and moist.
Warm the refried beans in a separate small pot over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
Lay out each flour tortilla and spread a layer of refried beans in the center, followed by a spoonful of cooked rice.
Add a generous portion of the seasoned beef on top of the rice, then sprinkle the dairy-free cheese shreds over the beef.
Finish by adding a spoonful of salsa on top of the cheese layer.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up to enclose the filling.
Optional: Toast the wrapped burrito in a skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side for extra crispness.
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free beefy five-layer burrito!
