Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash (about 3 lb.)
  • 1 can (about 14 oz.) Mexican-style diced tomatoes (undrained)
  • 1 can (about 14 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 c. (3 oz.) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1/4 c. finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Cut squash in half lengthwise.
  • Remove and discard seeds. Place squash, cut side down, in greased baking pan. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until just tender. Using fork, remove spaghetti-like strands from hot squash and place strands in large bowl. (Use oven mitts to protect hands.)
