This was really good. The original recipe was from Vegetarian Times Low
Fat & Fast Mexican Book. I added a few ingredients to make it more
spicy. Of course, use any chile you like for the chile or replace
Calvins Powder if you don't have it.

     1/2  tsp           Calvins Powder* -- or chili powder

In a medium saucepan or large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium
heat. Add the mushrooms, peppers, and garlic and cook, stirring,until
tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in the beans, corn, scallions,  cumin, 
hot pepper or chili powder, and mexican oregano and cook, stirring, 4 to
6 minutes.

Meanwhile, warm the flour tortillas over a hot burner or skillet and
place on large serving plates. Spoon the mushrooms mixture down the
center of each tortilla. Top each filling with about 2 tbsp cheese; roll
the tortillas around the fillings, creating burritos. Spoon your
favorite salsa over the top of each burrito. Serve with rice on the
side.

NOTES : If you wish (and I always do), you can put the burritos in the
oven for a few moments and melt the cheese. 

* Calvins Powder is a special chili powder that I got from someone on
the Chile-Heads list that cannot be bought anywhere else. Use your
favorite chili powder in place of it.

Serve also garnished with sour cream (low fat or fat-free) and some
chopped cilantro.
