Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking dish and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, cooking until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup of the green enchilada sauce. Mix well until smooth.
In another bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1 cup of the red enchilada sauce.
Warm the corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds to prevent tearing.
Assemble the enchiladas: Fill 3 tortillas with the chicken mixture (spring), 3 tortillas with the mashed sweet potatoes (summer), 3 tortillas with the zucchini and mushroom mixture (fall), and 3 tortillas with the black beans and cilantro (winter). Sprinkle a little shredded cheese into each tortilla before rolling.
Pour half of the remaining red enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the enchiladas seam-side down in the dish.
Pour the remaining red enchilada sauce over half of the enchiladas and the green enchilada sauce over the other half to create a visually striking contrast.
Top the enchiladas with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Four Seasons Enchiladas!
