Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the red onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute for 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the bell peppers are tender.
Stir in the black beans, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make them more pliable.
Lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the cooked brown rice across the center of each.
Top the rice with the bean mixture, then add the avocado slices, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle some lime juice over the ingredients and season with black pepper to taste.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it from the bottom up into a burrito shape.
Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve warm, with additional cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
