# Directions:
01 - Set oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and red bell pepper; cook for 3 minutes. Incorporate zucchini, corn, and mushrooms; cook for another 5 to 6 minutes while stirring frequently until softened. Add garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 more minute.
03 - Remove skillet from heat. Stir in drained black beans and chopped cilantro. Allow mixture to cool slightly, then fold in 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly.
04 - In a medium saucepan, combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, vegetable broth, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, then adjust seasoning to preference.
05 - Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the base of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the vegetable filling into each tortilla, roll tightly, and arrange seam-side down in the prepared dish.
06 - Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
07 - Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
08 - Allow enchiladas to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with optional toppings such as sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, sour cream or Greek yogurt, sliced jalapeños, and lime wedges.
