# Method Steps:
01 - Set oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 3 minutes. Incorporate zucchini, corn, and mushrooms; sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until tender. Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper; cook an additional minute.
03 - Remove skillet from heat. Mix in drained black beans and chopped cilantro. Allow mixture to cool slightly, then stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese.
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. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes and adjust seasoning as needed.
05 - Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
06 - Divide vegetable filling evenly, placing approximately ½ cup into each tortilla. Roll tortillas tightly and arrange seam-side down in the baking dish.
07 - Pour remaining enchilada sauce over rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese. Cover with foil.
08 - Bake covered for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
09 - Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
10 - Allow enchiladas to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with optional toppings such as sliced avocado, cilantro, sour cream, jalapeños, and lime wedges as desired.
