To start, cook the quinoa according to package instructions. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the black beans, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
