SERVINGS 4
Ingredients
Spaghetti Squash and Filling
- 24 oz spaghetti squash
- olive oil
- .75 lb chicken breasts
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 small onion minced
- 1 cup black pepper
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 oz canned tomatoes
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup black beans
For the Pico De Gallo:
- 1 cup tomatoes
- 1/4 cup scallions
- 1/2 jalapeño minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or two if they don’t fit). Cut the squash in half lengthwise, and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and soft yellow strands. Spray the inside of the squash with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Place the squash facedown on the baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes or until the flesh easily pierces with a fork.
- Meanwhile, brown turkey in a large skillet breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. When no longer pink add dry seasoning and mix well. Add the onion, pepper, water and tomato sauce and cover. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes.
- Combine the ingredients for the quick pico de gallo in a medium bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
- Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the inside so the strands appear. Spoon scant 1/2 cup meat inside each squash bowl. Top each with 2 tbsp cheese and transfer them to the oven and bake another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven, top with pico de gallo and serve immediately!
