Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can black beans (15 oz)
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Taco seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, chili powder, and cumin.
  2. Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-35 minutes until tender.
  3. While roasting, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, then stir in minced garlic.
  4. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned; drain any excess fat.
  5. Mix in taco seasoning along with black beans, cherry tomatoes, and corn; combine well.
  6. Once the squash is done roasting, fill each half with the beef mixture and top with cheeses. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with cilantro if desired.
