Instructions: Prepare barbecue grill for direct cooking.

Place potatoes in 1 1/2-quart pan; cover halfway with water. Bring to a boil. Cover; cook over medium heat about 8 minutes or until tender. Drain; stir in cheese, green onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Grill tomatoes, skin-side down, on grid over hot coals about 5 minutes or until skin is blackened and tomatoes are very tender.

Combine cilantro, jalapeno pepper, red onion and garlic in food processor; process using on/off pulsing action until finely chopped. Transfer to microwavable bowl.

Place tomatoes, water, lime juice, cumin and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in food processor; process until smooth. Add to pepper mixture; keep warm.

Lightly spray tortillas on both sides with cooking spray; grill 1 minute on each side or until warmed.

Cover one side of each tortilla with 1 tablespoon tomato sauce. Immediately spread about 1/4 cup warm potato mixture down center of tortilla; roll to enclose filling. Spoon about 3 tablespoons sauce over burrito. Repeat to make 12 burritos. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: Burritos are best served just after assembly. Store leftovers as separate components and assembled just before serving. Heat assembled burrito in microwave oven.

Caution: Jalapeno peppers can sting and irritate the skin; wear rubber gloves when handling peppers and do not touch eyes. Wash hands after handling peppers.
