Ingredients

3 acorn squash
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
2 cups Muir Glen™ Organic Diced Tomatoes Fire Roasted
1 ½ cup corn, drained
2 cups black beans, drained
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 400°F.
2

Pierce acorn squash with a fork 2-3 times. Microwave each squash separately for 6 minutes, or just until the flesh becomes tender enough to yield when pressed. Slice in half, remove seeds with a spoon and place cut-side up (skin down) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3

In a large bowl, stir together quinoa, tomatoes, corn, black beans, cheddar and green onions. Spoon into the centre of each acorn squash. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
4

Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
