1

In a saucepan, bring water and rice to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the melted butter until the onion is translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let it melt. Stir in the chili powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, and nutmeg; cook, stirring often, for 2 more minutes.
3

Stir in the black beans and tomato sauce, then bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Let sit until the cilantro wilts, about 5 minutes.

Fill warm tortillas with the bean mixture and rice.
