Drain and rinse the canned black beans under cold water to remove excess sodium.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the drained black beans to the saucepan, along with the ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir well and cook the beans for about 5 minutes, until they are heated through and well seasoned.
Mash the beans slightly with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to create a chunky mixture.
Warm the gluten-free tortillas according to package instructions; this can often be done by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
To assemble the burritos, place a warm tortilla on a flat surface and spoon about 1/4 of the bean mixture down the center of the tortilla.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beans.
Add a spoonful of salsa over the cheese.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat the assembly steps with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Serve the burritos immediately while warm, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
