Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sautΓ© until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned all over, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the black beans, chili powder, and ground cumin. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through. Set this beef and bean mixture aside.
To make the enchilada sauce, in a medium saucepot, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Spoon a portion of the beef and bean mixture along the center of each flour tortilla, sprinkle some shredded cheese, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the burritos, ensuring they are completely covered.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve warm, with optional toppings like sliced avocado and sour cream.
