Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the meat mixture is well-coated and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, cooked white rice, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly mixed.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 1/2 cup of the filling mixture in the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill on medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the burritos seam-side down onto the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown grill marks form and the tortillas are crispy.
Remove the grilled burritos from the heat and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Optionally, cut them in half and serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side.
