Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop the red bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Place them on the baking sheet.
Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, ground cumin, and chili powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly charred.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
While the vegetables are roasting, drain and rinse the canned black beans. If using canned corn, drain it as well.
In a medium bowl, combine the roasted vegetables, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir to mix.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place 2 tortillas on the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping as needed. Spread one-third of the roasted vegetable mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with one-third of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the tortilla bake cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
