Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until peppers are softened.
Add the drained black beans to the skillet and season with cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the black bean mixture and stir to combine.
Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave to make them more pliable.
Lay each tortilla flat on a work surface. Add a quarter of the black bean mixture to the center of each tortilla.
Top with sliced avocado, a couple of spoonfuls of salsa, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and some cooked rice.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a burrito.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for easy transport if taking to-go.
