Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the plant-based ground 'beef' to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes or use a microwave.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat and add a generous scoop of the cooked rice, some black beans, the 'beef' mixture, shredded cheese, a spoonful of salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.
Sprinkle each with chopped fresh cilantro.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from one end to the other.
Serve the burritos warm with lime wedges on the side.
