Rinse the brown rice under cold water and place it in a saucepan with 2 cups of vegetable broth.
Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the black beans, canned diced tomatoes, corn, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt to create a creamy spread.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for easier folding.
To assemble each burrito, spread 2-3 tablespoons of mashed avocado onto a tortilla. Layer with a scoop of brown rice, the bean mixture, shredded lettuce, salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Optional: Drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, then serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a portable meal.
