- 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
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!!
