Ingredients
  

For the Squash

For the filling

  • 2 avocados , pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion , diced
  • 1 tomato , diced
  • 15 ounce can black beans , drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro , chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice , or to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper , to tastes
  • crushed red pepper flakes , to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 
  • Slice off the stem of the squash. Starting at the top of the squash, slice the squash lengthwise, to create two long halves. 
  • Remove the seeds and guts. Brush some olive oil onto the squash and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
  • Place squash halves cut side down on the baking sheet and roast for 30-50 minutes, depending on how large your squash is. 
  • Check on it around 25 minutes of baking time--it's ready when it is tender and easy to scrape the strands with a fork.

  • Remove squash from the oven and flip over. Sprinkle on, to taste, some chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. 
  • Fill each half of squash with the vegetable filling. Enjoy!
