Preparation:

In nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic, onion, sweet red pepper, chili powder, oregano, coriander, salt and pepper, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until red pepper is tender-crisp; let cool.

Meanwhile, in food processor, purée cream cheese with half of the beans until smooth. Add remaining beans and onion mixture; pulse just until combined yet still coarse.

Sprinkle Cheddar over tortillas. Spoon 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the bean mixture along lower third of each tortilla. Fold bottom over filling. Fold 1 inch (2.5 cm) of each side over filling; roll up from bottom. Wrap separately in foil, sealing edges well. (Wrapped burritos can be stored in freezer bag and frozen for up to 2 weeks.)

To reheat, place thawed foil packages on grill over medium heat; cook, turning once, for about 8 minutes or until heated through.
