"grilled" texas burritos

If you try just one of my recipes.. I urge you to try this one!! it was so easy.. (actually i am a little embarrassed as to how easy it is.. ha) sometimes i get caught up in the whole making different food, taking pictures, blogging about the recipe i forget some of the easiest tried and true recipes from yesteryear are just as good.. so years ago and i mean probably 10 or more i came across a recipe in a magazine called "texas tacos" no clue why they were called texas tacos over another name but we liked them and so we had them probably once a week for 2 years.. (got into a bit of a rut back then) anyway.. the recipe called for ground beef cooked until crumbly (i always used, even back then, ground turkey) 1 jar of pace picante salsa, a can of pinto beans drained,  a can of corn (i would use the mexican corn) drained.. then mix everything together and well simmer for a about 30 minutes.. viola dinner is done and it was good.. make some taco shells out of corn tortillas or make up a  burrito and your good to go.. i hadn't thought of the recipe for years one day jake said i am tired of these tacos and sadly i never made them again.. but they are good you should try them.. anyway back to the recipe of the day.. sheesh i get sidetracked easy.. shell and i were running out the door to the gym, (we meet with a trainer on tuesdays and thursdays.. and this past tuesday she worked us hard i am still feeling it in my legs.. youch..) but before we left i took out 2 packages of ground turkey, 1 jar of pace picante salsa (chunky), and a can of  pinto beans.. (i always have them around but if you can believe it i have never in my entire life purchased a can of refried beans.. never not once.. it's just as easy to make your own..) well as we ran through the garage i asked pete to brown the meat and add the salsa and leave it on simmer until we returned.. i figured when i got back i would decide what to do with the beans.. well when we got back i coulnd't find the can of beans.. and you guessed it pete put them in the taco meat..so not wanting to make the old tacos jake disliked..(not sure why that was a factor he didn't come to dinner but.. old habits die hard ha)  i decided to make grilled burritos.. they were amazing.. omg so good.. like a chimichanga without the guilt.. soooo soooo good.. we are so having these again and jake even said when are you making them for us??
