# Directions:

01 - Set oven temperature to 375°F and allow it to reach temperature.
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; continue cooking for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently until softened. Add minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute more.
03 - Remove skillet from heat. Stir in black beans and fresh cilantro. Allow mixture to cool slightly before incorporating 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 for 5–7 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
