Ingredients:

2 red peppers, seeded and quartered

2 green peppers, seeded and quartered

2 red onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

3 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 mild Italian sausages

Recipe Directions:

Preheat grill on setting #4. Toss together red and green peppers, onions, 2 tbsp of the oil, salt and pepper.

Grill sausages and vegetables, turning as needed, for 20 minutes or until sausages are cooked through and vegetables are tender; let cool slightly. Chop vegetables and slice sausage; toss with Cheddar and mozzarella. Arrange evenly over one side of each tortilla; fold tortilla over to enclose filling.
