Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the bell pepper, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the pepper starts to soften.
Stir in vegan turkey crumbles, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the crumbles are heated through and well-seasoned.
Add cooked brown rice and black beans to the skillet. Mix the ingredients and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated thoroughly.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or microwave them between damp paper towels for 15-20 seconds.
Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add a quarter of the turkey and rice mixture to the center of the tortilla.
Top with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
