- 1 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until it begins to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the black beans and pinto beans to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Mix in the cooked rice, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
Cook the bean and rice mixture for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place a scoop of the bean and rice mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and any optional toppings like lettuce or avocado.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly into a burrito shape.
Serve immediately, or wrap individually in foil for a portable lunch option.
