Ingredients
  • 1lb ground hamburger
  • 1 spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise with seeds removed
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, ghee or butter
  • 1 red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 green pepper, finely chopped
  • ½ yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 handfuls fresh spinach
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • optional toppings: avocado and cilantro
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the prepared spaghetti squash on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in oven for 30 minutes.
  2. While the spaghetti squash is cooking, place a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat and add the coconut oil. Once the coconut oil is melted, add the peppers and onion and saute until the onions become translucent. Add the ground hamburger to the skillet and brown. Mix in the tomatoes and spinach.
  3. Once the spinach is wilted, add the taco seasoning packet (do NOT add the water) and lime juice. Mix well. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the spaghetti squash from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  5. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and shred the spaghetti squash into it. Add the ground beef mixture, salsa and egg and mix well. Spread into an even layer.
  6. Place in oven and cook for 35 minutes.
