Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the black beans, corn, and canned diced tomatoes with their juice to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Season the bean mixture with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the mixture is heated through.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked rice and fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 8

Place a scoop of the filling mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Optionally, heat the wrapped burritos on a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to lightly toast the tortillas.

Step 11

Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
