Ingredients:

- 1 large green pepper, diced
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- ½ tbsp. cumin
- ½ tbsp. coriander
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- ½ tbsp. smoked paprika
- 10 oz. can low-sodium petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 10 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- (Optional) 2 oz. green chiles, in whatever heat intensity you like

Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Set a large skillet over medium flame and allow it to get hot before spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
- Sauté onion, green pepper and garlic 1-2 minutes, until softened. Add ground turkey, breaking up meat and mixing in vegetables, until browned.

- Working on a flat surface, lay out tortilla. Place a heaping ½ cup of the meat/veggie mixture in the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla by folding the top and bottom over the meat mixture, then rolling into a burrito shape.
