Spaghetti Squash Fajita Bowl

Ahhhhh. I haven't updated my blog in over a month! I just revamped it and I will be making more of an effort to post weekly! Life seems to get away with me some days! Harper doesn't make it too easy to use the computer either lol!

Over the weekend I made this delishhh Spaghetti Squash Fajita Bowl while watching the ALABAMA game. OMG what a game! 

I wanted something delicious that tasted like a CHEAT but obviously I'm still following the 21 Day Fix meal plan so cheating was out of the question! This recipe is perfect and oh so yummy!

What you'll need:

-Smaller spaghetti squash

-raw lean steak strips (I bought the fajita steak)

-1 large green bell pepper

-1 large red bell pepper

-1 large red onion

-1 jalapeño

-1 16oz. can diced tomatoes

-1/2 tsp black pepper

-1/2 cumin

-2 tbsp minced garlic

-fresh cilantro

-Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning

-1/4 cup canned black beans (I get the organic with less sodium)

-1/4 cup frozen corn kernels

-Shredded cheddar cheese

STEP 1

Heat oven to 350

Cut the stem from the spaghetti squash then cut entire squash in half.

Spray a nonstick baking sheet with extra virgin olive oil.

Place squash inside down on baking sheet 

Cook for 30 minutes or until outside is a little soft 

(cooking time may depend on size of spaghetti squash)

STEP 2

Spray a non-stick pan with extra virgin olive oil spray

Add 1 tbsp of minced garlic and broke up a handful of cilantro (as much as you like). 

Add the fajita steak to the pan 

Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning 

(I love seasoning.. so use your own discretion I cover it heavily) 

Cook the meat on low-medium heat until most of the steak was medium-well 

Stir frequently. 

Chop up the bell peppers, onions, extra cilantro, and jalapeño.

STEP 3

Remove steak from the pan and placed to the side. 

Without washing add EVOO spray to the pan one more time

Add 1 tbsp minced garlic

Add chopped veggies

Saute on medium for 4-5 minutes

STEP 4

(optional)

Add the steak. 

(for those on the 21 Day Fix meal plan 

you can keep them separate for portioning purposes) 

STEP 5

Let the fajita mix simmer on warm.

Remove spaghetti squash from the oven.

Flip squash over

Scrape and remove inside with fork to make little noodle shaped pieces

Place corn and black beans in a microwave safe bowl

Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning

Heat for 1 minute

(for this step I portioned out 1 yellow of corn and 1

 yellow of black beans for those following the 21 Day Fix)

STEP 6

Layer your ingredients into the squash bowl. 

I did steak/veggie mix then spaghetti squash then corn/black beans and then steak veggie mix

(be sure to portion out veggies and steak in this step

 if you are following the 21 Day Fix. I filled up 1 green of squash and 1 green of fajita veggies)

Sprinkle with shredded cheese (don't forget to use that blue container!!)

 Broil until cheese is melted and ENJOY!
