    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 1 (24x18-inch) sheet of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray. Layer coarsely chopped onion, bell pepper and tomatoes on center of sheet. Bring up 2 sides of foil over vegetables 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.
