0

  • Yield: 8 , about ¾ cup per serving

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish
How to Make It
  1. Pierce squash several times with a fork. Place on a microwaveable plate and microwave on HIGH 15 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife. Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
  3. Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and discard. Scrape the inside of the squash with a fork, shredding it so it looks like spaghetti, and place in a large bowl. Add black beans, diced tomatoes, cheese, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cilantro; mix well. Spoon into prepared casserole dish.
  4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and serve.
