• Put all the tortillas in a foil wrap and carefully heat them before so they are more flexible.
• Putting tortillas directly into the coals will burn them - keep them away and rotate often.
• Each person should mark his burrito wrapper somehow so he knows it is his - special foil fold or permanent marker or series of poked holes in the foil.

Eat it with fingers like a piece of toast to keep your plate clean.

Serves 8-10.

When it is time for snack, talk about how it would get kind of boring if we were all exactly alike. But, since we're all different, when we get together it makes something more exciting - like this snack.

Cream together all the ingredients except the nuts and oats, in a large mixing bowl.
Once it is all blended, stir in the oats and nuts. Make sure it is well mixed.

Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet with at least a 1/2 inch high lip. Press the mixture down and pack it in until it fills the pan and is a smidge less than 1/2 inch thick. You'll probably need a second sheet.

Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and press down with a spatula to prevent crumbling when it cools. (If you bake it too long, it gets hard and crunchy like a granola bar.)
While it is still warm, cut into 3 inch squares.

Toss the onion, garlic, and lemon with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. In the center of a 24-inch long piece of heavy duty foil, spread the mixture.
Put the salmon on top of the onion mixture and drizzle with the melted butter, sprinkle with the Italian seasoning and a generous amount of salt and pepper.
Fold over twice the 2 long sides of foil together to seal. Crimp to seal by bringing the ends of the foil in. Leave a little room for steam to circulate inside.

Cook packet on the grill for 10 to 15 minutes. Open the packet and check the salmon (careful of the steam). With a slightly rosy center, it should be mostly opaque. Shift the package on a cutting board and set aside for 5 minutes.
