Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, and sautΓ© until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, and cook for another 5 minutes, until it starts to become tender.
Add the black soybeans, chili powder, cumin, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt and combine with the cauliflower rice and bean mixture.
Warm the low-carb tortillas in a separate dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.
Divide the cauliflower rice mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the filling in each tortilla.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up from the bottom to enclose the filling and form a burrito.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb cheesy bean and rice burrito!
