Add chopped green chili, bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms; cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Stir in salt, black pepper, sweet paprika, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and coriander; mix well.

Add pre-cooked pinto beans, stirring to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Return to the oven for about 7 minutes to melt the cheese and brown it.
