Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked rice, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
Warm the gluten-free tortillas according to the package instructions to make them pliable.
Place an equal portion of the cheesy bean and rice mixture onto each tortilla.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the filling.
Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to form a burrito.
Serve the burritos immediately with salsa on the side or atop.
