Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
- Cut squash in 1/2 lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds. Add a few drops of oil to each 1/2 and spread using a pastry brush. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Remove cooked squash from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Remove strands from squash using a fork or spoon and place them into a large bowl. Add black beans, sauteed veggies, 1/2 cup Mexican cheese, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper; mix well. Spoon mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Mexican cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with tomatoes, avocado, and olives. Serve immediately.

MEXICAN SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE
This is a hearty vegetable casserole with a Mexican flair and with the addition of leftover/cooked chicken, it can become a great dinner casserole. The heat can easily be varied by changing the amount of green chiles, adding jalapenos, or by adjusting the amount of spice in the salsa.
