    Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.

Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We recommend a thick and chunky black bean and corn salsa variety for this recipe.
  • tip 2
    If you’re unable to find shredded pepper Jack cheese, shred your own from a block of cheese.
  • tip 3
    We recommend grilling over indirect heat to prevent the flame from getting too hot, and potentially burning the foil packs. Using a grill thermometer or temperature gauge helps keep the grill at a consistent temperature without having to constantly open the grill to check for doneness.
