Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Line rimmed baking pan with foil.
  • Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds, and brush insides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut sides down in pan. Roast 35 to 40 minutes or until squash is tender. When squash is cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into bowl, and reserve squash shells on lined pan.
  • Meanwhile, heat 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook beef with chile and garlic 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; remove and reserve. Heat same skillet over medium heat, and add bell pepper and onions; cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is just starting to soften. Add beef mixture, squash flesh, taco seasoning mix and water to skillet. Cook until well blended and heated through, stirring frequently. Stir in cheese; spoon mixture back into squash shells.
  • Bake 5 to 6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with tomato and avocado.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush the inside of the spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until squash is easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bell pepper. Cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and basil, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove spaghetti squash from oven, cool slightly, and shred the cooked squash into spaghetti-like strands. Place strands in a bowl. Add bell pepper mixture, goat cheese, salt, and black pepper and mix until well combined. Spoon mixture back into the squash halves. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and butter cubes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and bread crumbs are browned, about 15 minutes.

  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Coat with the inside of each squash with 1 tablespoon of oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the four squash halves flesh side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the squash is fork tender.
  • While the squash is baking, prepare the chicken. In a large bowl, combine the chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, cinnamon, lime zest and juice. Add the chicken pieces and mix until thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • About 10 minutes before squash is finished cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion slices and saute until tender-crisp (about 5-6 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and saute the chicken pieces over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes. Add the pepper and onion mixture back to the pan, mix together with the chicken, and saute for another minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the spaghetti squash is finished cooking, remove from oven and increase temperature to 425F degrees. Turn each squash half flesh side up and fill each half with an equal amount of the chicken fajita mixture. Top with the shredded cheese and place back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  • Cut off the stems of the spaghetti squash. Next, cut each squash in half lengthwise. Spaghetti squash can be hard to cut, so work carefully. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and the attached stringy, darker flesh – discard.
  • Brush some olive oil on the inside of each squash half and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash face down on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the squash is tender (if you take a fork, the flesh should easily scrape into spaghetti-like strands). Let cool for about 5 to 10 minutes, so they are easier to handle.
