Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Dice the {Onion}, slice the {Bell pepper} and {Zucchini}, mince the {Garlic}, drain and rinse the {Black Beans}, and cut the {Tortilla} into rough bite-size strips.

    ~14 min

    Heat the {Olive oil} in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the {Onion}, {Bell pepper}, and {Zucchini} with the {Salt} and {Black pepper} until softened. Stir in the {Garlic}, {Cumin}, {Smoked paprika}, and {Oregano} for the last minute.

    ~8 min

  3. 3

    Stir in the {Tomato paste}, then add the {Enchilada Sauce}, {Black Beans}, and {Corn}. Simmer until slightly thickened, then fold in half of the {Tortilla} strips so they start soaking up the sauce.

    Transfer half the saucy filling to a baking dish, scatter over half the remaining {Tortilla} strips, then top with half the {Cheddar cheese} and half the {Mozzarella}. Repeat with the remaining filling, {Tortilla}, {Cheddar cheese}, and {Mozzarella}.
