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.
