Beef and Potato Burritos


OK, so my love for Mexican food  has taken over lately.  I can't say that I am sorry though. 



I had pulled a pound of ground turkey out of the fridge with no idea as to what I was going to make with it.
I ran across this recipe in an email this morning.  Beef and potato burrito. YES !! I knew what I was going to do with that pound of ground turkey.  Make turkey and potato burritos. I did not add jalapeno, as my boys don't like it to spicy.  I added a little sour cream, lettuce and onion to my burrito. It was awesome.  Very fast and easy to make.  They were extremely filling.  One burrito was enough.  Taylor ate half, took an hour break and then like every growing boy he was hungry again, so he ate the rest.
