It's filler. If you need filler then your burrito is inferior. Besides, you get all the carbs you need from the tortilla.

The original mesoamerican cuisine was centered around the trinity of corn, beans and squash. There was no rice until the Europeans invaded and brought their steel weapons and deadly diseases. So, yea, no rice.

While I don't like rice in a burrito, that is my preference. To say it doesn't belong is just snobbery. Whatever someone likes in a burrito is what belongs.
