    Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, and cumin; cook and stir for 1 minute to release the flavors. Stir in black beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, jalapeño pepper, chipotle pepper, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

    Stir in quinoa and corn. Cook until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in cilantro, and serve.
