Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Sauté the diced red onion and bell pepper in the skillet for 4-5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Mix in the black beans and corn kernels, and cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat through. Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze in the lime juice. Stir to combine and set aside the mixture.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the burritos by placing a scoop of cooked rice in the center of each tortilla, followed by the sautéed vegetable and bean mixture.

Step 7

Top with shredded cheddar cheese (if using), avocado slices, salsa, and chopped cilantro.

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 9

Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later. Enjoy!
