FAJITA-STUFFED SPAGHETTI SQUASH
When you need a seriously satisfying dinner-something rich, meaty and cheesy-but don't want to be weighed down, turn to this recipe. Baking your fajita fixings in a spaghetti squash allows the flavors to shine through, so you'll be enjoying the beef, onions, peppers and seasonings that make this classic dish. After baking, top your stuffed squash with chopped tomato and avocado, just like you would your fajitas. The combination of hearty fajita fillings and fresh toppings makes this meal so appealing that even veggie skeptics will clean their plates!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line rimmed baking pan with foil.
- Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds, and brush insides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut sides down in pan. Roast 35 to 40 minutes or until squash is tender. When squash is cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into bowl, and reserve squash shells on lined pan.
- Meanwhile, heat 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook beef with chile and garlic 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; remove and reserve. Heat same skillet over medium heat, and add bell pepper and onions; cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is just starting to soften. Add beef mixture, squash flesh, taco seasoning mix and water to skillet. Cook until well blended and heated through, stirring frequently. Stir in cheese; spoon mixture back into squash shells.
- Bake 5 to 6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with tomato and avocado.
