rack in position B. Line the baking tray with aluminum foil.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the vegetables (except for the corn) with 2 tea-
spoons of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange evenly on the prepared
baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, or
until vegetables are softened and are beginning to brown. Transfer the veg-
etables back to the mixing bowl and toss with the corn, chicken, beans,
cilantro, lime juice, spices, pepper and remaining salt.
Spread one quarter of the vegetable mixture in a line just below the center
of each tortilla. Top each with one quarter of the cheese. Roll the burritos
and place them seam side down in the same baking tray on which the veg-
etables were roasted. Brush the top of each rolled burrito with the remain-
ing olive oil.
Bake burritos in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tortillas are
just crisp and browned. Serve with guacamole, salsa and sour cream for
garnish.
