Begin by cutting the cauliflower into small florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice grains; set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautΓ© for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Stir in the black soybeans, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes to heat the beans and incorporate the spices.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle 150 grams of the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture, stirring until the cheese has melted and is well combined.
Lay each low-carb tortilla flat and evenly distribute the cauliflower bean mixture among them, spooning the mixture along the center of each tortilla.
Top each mixture with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and some chopped cilantro before folding the sides and rolling into a burrito.
Optionally, heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly toast each burrito on both sides until golden and slightly crisp.
Serve the burritos warm with sour cream on the side for dipping.
