Preparation

Step 1

Poke several holes in the skin of the squash to allow steam to escape while cooking. {I had a hot squash explode on me once when I tried to cut in without having poked holes in it first, ouch} Place whole squash on a roasting pan and roast for 60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes before attempting to cut.
Meanwhile, cook chorizo in a large, non-stick or cast iron skillet till browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove from pan into a large bowl, set aside. Pour out all but 1 teaspoon of grease. Brown onion 4-5 minutes. Add onion to chorizo. Combine the beans, corn, red bell pepper, tomatoes, jalepeno, cilantro and the salt into the chorizo mixture.
Cut the squash in half, lengthwise. Using a large fork scrape out the flesh of the squash to make 'spagetthi' making sure to leave at least 1/2" on bottom and sides to create a "boat". Toss the spaghetti squash flesh in with the chorizo mixture to combine. Scoop mixture into the spaghetti 'boats'. Cover with cheese and place back in oven and roast for 10-15 until cheese melts.
