Ingredients

  • 2 spaghetti squash
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing onto spaghetti squash
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • juice from 1 lime
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large chicken breast halves cooked and cubed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado diced
  • shredded Mexican cheese
  • salsa
  • additional cilantro for topping
  • sour cream or plain Greek yogurt optional, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut spaghetti squash in half the long way. You can cut the stem off, but be sure to keep the "bowl" of the spaghetti squash intact.
  • Brush spaghetti squash with olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Place cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, until the flesh is tender and easily forks into spaghetti squash noodles. Be sure to check your spaghetti squash after 45 minutes - as smaller squash will cook quicker than larger squash.
  • Scrape spaghetti squash strands out of each half and place into a large bowl.
  • Add chopped cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt, and stir well to combine.
  • Return spaghetti squash back into bowls, dividing evenly among the 4 halves.
  • Top with chopped chicken, corn, black beans, avocado, and cheese.
  • Garnish with additional cilantro and sour cream/plain Greek yogurt, if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!!
