Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the jackfruit to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated jackfruit and cook for 10-15 minutes, occasionally stirring and using a fork to shred the jackfruit further.
Warm the tortilla wraps in a microwave or on a skillet for a few seconds until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place an even amount of cooked white rice, black beans, jackfruit filling, avocado slices, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro in the center of each tortilla.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Serve each burrito with a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing on top before eating.
