Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and paprika. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Drain and rinse the canned black beans and add them to the skillet.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring well to combine. Cook for 4-5 more minutes, then remove from heat.
In a separate skillet, cook vegetarian bacon strips according to package directions until crispy. Set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrapped in foil in a preheated oven at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for about 5 minutes.
To assemble each burrito, lay a warm tortilla flat on a work surface.
Place a portion of the black bean mixture along the center of the tortilla.
Top the beans with a few pieces of crispy vegetarian bacon.
Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, add sliced avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a burrito.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the burritos.
