Ingredients:

1 large or 2 small acorn squash
1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies, in juice
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup black beans

Cut acorn squash in half if large or 3/4 from the bottom is using small. Remove seeds. Drizzle with vegetable oil and a dash of salt. Roast upside down 35 minutes until the insides are very tender.

On a pan half cook the quinoa in water. Then add vegetables and seasoning. Cook until water is absorbed.
