In a slow cooker, combine beef broth, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Add the beef chunks to the slow cooker and toss to coat them thoroughly with the spice mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred the meat.
Remove and discard the bay leaves from the liquid in the slow cooker, then return the shredded beef to the liquid to keep it moist.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave until pliable.
To assemble the burrito, lay one tortilla on a flat surface and add a scoop of shredded barbacoa, followed by cooked white rice, black beans, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the burritos warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
