  1. Prepare the Bean Filling:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
    • Add minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until bell pepper is tender.
  2. Add Beans and Spices:
    • Add the drained and rinsed black beans and pinto beans to the skillet.
    • Sprinkle ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the beans and vegetables.
    • Stir well to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and flavors are well combined.
  3. Finish and Season:
    • Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze lime juice over the bean mixture.
    • Add chopped cilantro if using, and stir to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Assemble the Burritos:
    • Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.
    • Spoon a generous amount of the bean filling onto each tortilla, slightly off-center.
    • Optionally, sprinkle some vegan cheese over the beans if desired.
  5. Fold and Roll:
    • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the bottom edge over the filling and roll tightly to enclose.
    • Place the burrito seam-side down on a plate.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the vegan bean burritos with salsa, guacamole, or vegan sour cream on the side.
    • You can also lightly toast the assembled burritos in a skillet for a crispy exterior.
  7. Enjoy:
    • Dig in and enjoy your delicious vegan bean burritos!
