- Slice green peppers and onions into desired sized pieces and place in a sheet of alumumin foil that is large enough to wrap your veggies in, add remaining marinade. Wrap up tightly in foil and place on grill. Cook until tender (20-30 min.).
- Serve with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, salsa, cheese, anything your heart desires!
