Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. SautΓ© for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cooked black beans, cooked brown rice, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side or microwave them for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the black bean and vegetable filling into the center.
Top the filling with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side or wrap in foil for a grab-and-go meal.
