Directions
1. Roast the spaghetti squash on a cookie sheet at 375°F for 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
2. Shred the squash and set it aside in a large bowl. Keep the shells to bake in, or throw them away and use a casserole dish, instead.
3. Warm some olive oil in a medium dish and cook the onions and garlic. When the onions are almost translucent, add the green pepper and beans and cook for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add spices, corn, tomatoes, and the shredded spaghetti squash. Mix until just combined.
5. Fill the squash shells or casserole dish with the mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, cover with tin foil, then heat in the oven for 10-15 minutes (still at 375°F).
6. Divide into 4 portions, and serve with diced avocado.
