Baked Mexican Black Bean Spaghetti Squash from Undressed Skeleton

First off this dish was beyond delicious!! I will be making this often, and being that today normal is my Taco Tuesday day, I opted out of getting my typical Taco meal and made this instead. I am so glad that I did.

I found this recipe from Undressed Skeleton

Baked Mexican Black Bean Spaghetti Squash

Serving Size 1 cup
1pp or for 2 cups 3pp

1 extra large Spaghetti Squash
1 can of diced chili tomatoes
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed and low in sodium
4 Tbsp of Green Chilis
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 cup of shredded Mexican Reduced Fat Cheese
1/4 tsp of black pepper
1 tsp of cumin

I microwaved my spaghetti squash because I wanted to speed up the process a bit. I knew if I roasted it, it would take more than a hour. I cut the spaghetti squash in half, scooped out the seeds and guts and then microwaved each half for 8 minutes. I placed a wet paper towel over each half. Holy heck microwaving the spaghetti squash is so easy!!! There is no excuses in this household now for cooking when all it took was 8 minutes.

After I microwaved the squash, I sprayed a 9x13 pan with Pam and pre-heated my oven to 350 degrees. Then in a large bowl I put everything together, BUT only half of the cheese. I scooped out all of the squash and mixed everything together then put in pan. Then put the remaining cheese on top and baked for 30 minutes.

Then I ate lol.

Oh man was it yummy.

I put two tbsp of salsa on top and paired it with a piece of chicken for a bit more protein.

There is so much leftovers because my boyfriend is away for a few days and I am totally okay with that because more for me and I will be eating this for lunch all week!

Enjoy!
