Acorn Squash Taco Bowls
Recipe from Tablespoon
Ingredients
- 3 acorn squash
- 1 ½ cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Pierce acorn squash with a fork a few times and microwave each squash separately for 6 minutes, or until the flesh becomes tender enough to yield when pressed. Slice squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds with a spoon. Place cut-side up (skin down) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. In a large bowl, mix together quinoa (or rice), tomatoes, corn, black beans, cheddar cheese and green onions. Spoon into the center of each squash half. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted.
4. Garnish with cilantro and any other chosen toppings, such as sour cream, greek yogurt, avocado, diced roma tomatoes or salsa.
