1. 1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.

1. 2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the turkey. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

1. 3. In the skillet, add the black beans, diced tomatoes and green chilies, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together.

1. 6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly.
