- Bake for 25 minutes, turning about ⅔ through when they start to brown on the bottom side.
- Once the vegetables look well roasted, remove from oven and stir together with 1 cup Corn, 1 can (14.5oz) Black Beans, 2 tablespoon Honey, and 3 tablespoon Cilantro. Squeeze 1 Lime over the mixed vegetables.
- Prepare the 10-12 6-inch Corn Tortillas. Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is thoroughly heated up, cook about a dry pan for about 30-45 seconds per side. You can also cook tortillas directly over a med-low gas flame to get the same roasting effect, but they are more prone to turning black.
