How to make Southwest Spaghetti Squash
Set the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice the squash in half vertically, then add 1/4 teaspoon salt, a dash of pepper, and half of the olive oil on the pulp side.
Squash should be placed skin-side up on a baking sheet. Bake until soft, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Make the sauce while you wait for the squash to finish cooking.
The garlic and onion should be sautéed for a minute in the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
When the turkey is fully cooked, add it and mix. Add the salsa, taco spice, and black beans.
Cook for another 10 minutes.
After adding the remaining salt and pepper, add the lime juice.
Take the cooked squash out, pierce the pulp side with a fork, and shred the flesh. To the serving bowls, transfer.
Sprinkle the mozzarella, tomatoes, and chives on top of the spaghetti squash after spreading the sauce over it.
