Spaghetti Squash Burrito Bowls

Serving Size

2

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash (medium)
  • 1 ½ tbsps extra virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 8 oz. ground turkey, beef, or black beans
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • ¼ cup red onion (finely diced)
  • 1 tomato (diced)
  • ½ avocado (finely diced)
  • ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)
  • ½ lime (sliced into wedges)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully split the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Brush the inside surface with half the olive oil, and place face-down on the baking sheet
  • Bake squash for 40 minutes, until it is easily pierced with a fork
  • While the squash is baking, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet. Add the turkey and cook until it begins to brown. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks through. Add the diced pepper and spices. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes or until the turkey is thoroughly cooked
  • Spoon the turkey filling into each half of the spaghetti squash. Top with diced red onion, tomato, avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
