Preheat the grill or heat a large griddle pan over medium high heat and lightly coat with oil.  Grill the fish just until firm, about 4 minutes per side.  Transfer to a board and cut into 1/2 inch chunks.  Dived into 4 portions.

To till the burritos, lay the warm tortillas on a counter.  Dived the bean mixture into 4 portions and spread in a strip down the center of each tortilla.  top each wit a portion of fish and a few spoonfuls of salsa.  Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste and lightly toss.  top the fish with the salad. Fold up the bottom quarter of each tortilla and then roll from one side into a cylinder.
