Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15-oz) can black beans
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Halve the spaghetti squash, remove seeds, and drizzle cut sides with olive oil. Season with salt, chili powder, and cumin. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes until tender.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onion in olive oil until soft (about 5 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add ground beef and cook until browned (approximately 6 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, cherry tomatoes, and corn into the beef mixture until well combined.
  4. Carefully fill each roasted spaghetti squash half with the beef mixture. Top with Monterey jack and cheddar cheese and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, serve warm and enjoy!
