instructions
    1

    Begin by cooking 1 cup of rice according to package instructions, which usually takes about 20 minutes.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

    3

    Add 1 piece of chopped onion and 1 chopped bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they're tender.

    4

    Once the rice is cooked, stir in 1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained) and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin into the skillet mixture. Combine everything well and heat for an additional 2 minutes.

    5

    Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface, and distribute the rice and bean mixture evenly among the tortillas.

    6

    Top each filled tortilla with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of salsa, and 1/2 cup of sour cream.

    7

    Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for freshness.

    8

    Carefully roll up each tortilla, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.

    9

    Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a baking dish and cover with any remaining salsa and cheese.

    10

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
