Grilled burritos

Thinking outside the box and trying to come up with new recipes to grill, I decided to grill burritos!
For my vegetarian burrito:
1 large flour tortilla
1 red bell pepper
1 poblano pepper
1 can black beans
1/4 cup refried beans
2 tbls shredded cheese
1 onion - chopped
2 garlic cloves - chopped
1/2 packet taco seasoning

Heat the grill on high and place peppers right on the grate.  Grill until blackened on all sides and place in a sealed bag.  Let them steam for about 5 minutes and then remove from the bag and peel off skin.  Slice the peppers into strips.
While the peppers are charring, using the side burner of the grill, I sauteed the onion and garlic until the onions were traslucent.  Add the can of black beans (washed) and half a packet of taco seasoning (or to your taste). 
Once the beans are cooked through and the peppers are ready, set up your burrito-making station.  Take the flour tortilla and smear the refried beans on the shell, add the cheese, then the black beans and finally the sliced peppers.  Tuck in two sides and then begin to roll up.  Place rolled burrito onto the grill and grill on both sides until there are grill marks and golden brown.  Enjoy!

 
JD's carnivore burrito:

1 flour tortilla
2 raw chicken tenders
1/2 packet taco seasoning
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup arugula

In a baggie, place the chicken and about 2 tsp of water and the taco seasoning.  Let "marinade" for 30 min.  Grill the chicken until there are grill marks. 
Take the flour tortilla and cover with cheese, the chicken and the arugula.  Roll and grill on both sides.
