Rinse the brown rice under cold water in a fine mesh sieve to remove excess starch.
Cook the brown rice according to package instructions or until tender, usually about 25-30 minutes. Set aside once done.
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly with cold water and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
Add the cooked rice, black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of one lime over the rice and bean mixture. Stir to combine.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon about a quarter of the rice and bean mixture into the center.
Top with sliced avocado, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, and a couple of tablespoons of salsa.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll from the bottom up to secure the burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos warm, optionally with extra salsa on the side.
