Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed. Add in half of the shredded cheese and mix until fully combined.
  3. Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips, about ¼ inch thick. Set aside the zucchini strips.

  6. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
