Spicy Stuffed Squash

Preheat oven to 400°F. Clean squash and cut each in half from the stem to the root end. Scoop out the seeds and place on a baking sheet with inside of the squash is facing up. Brush each with Baklouti oil. Roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until very soft when pierced with a fork. Allow to cool. Scoop out the inside, leaving a nice border all the way around. While the squash is roasting, in a large skillet, add rice, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, black beans, tomatoes, corn, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Mix that all up and give it a taste. Add salt and pepper and extra Baklouti oil to your liking. Reserve until ready to stuff squash. Spoon the rice mixture into the squash bowls to fill. Top each with a tablespoon of shredded cheese, or more to your liking and bake until cheese is melted and everything is heated through (about 15 min). Remove from oven and serve with sour cream and guacamole. Enjoy!
