Tex-Mex Spaghetti Squash

                         TEX MEX SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Serving Size  : 4    

Ingredients:

                        For the Squash

  1             medium  spaghetti squash

                        extra virgin olive oil -- to taste

                       Taco Seasoning (1 Tablespoon or to taste)

                        salt & pepper -- to taste

                        For the filling

  2                     avocados -- pitted and chopped

    3/4 cup         diced onion

  1/2 cup         mild salsa

  1                can  black soy Beans, Eden -- (15-ounce) drained and rinsed (buy them on Amazon)

     1/4           cup  fresh cilantro -- chopped

                        salt and pepper -- to tastes

                        crushed red pepper flakes -- to taste

Directions:

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.

When the squash is done, mix the beans, onion, salsa and taco seasoning.  Divide evenly into squash halves.  Top with avocados, cilantro, and add with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Diced, cooked chicken breasts can be added to the bean combination, and the whole thing can be sprinkled with shredded cheese, if desired.

NOTE:  Since the size of the squash varies, you can lower the carb count by using a smaller squash.  There is NO way I could eat an entire quarter of a spaghetti squash, so the carb count is likely lower.
