Why do a stuffed spaghetti squash?
We’ll be honest here, it’s all about the presentation! Flavor wise, stuffing the spaghetti squash back into the shell doesn’t do anything. But it does look really nice and it’s kind of a fun and unique meal. Sometimes you need to mix things up and spend a little time cooking a special meal for your loved ones. This taco stuffed spaghetti squash is a good one for that! However, if you don’t feel like stuffing the squash back into the shells, this recipe works fine to just put it all in a casserole dish. That might save you a little time and help get dinner on the table quicker – which could be exactly what you need. Just do what works best for you and your family.
The best taco flavors
We love taco everything, so making a taco stuffed spaghetti squash recipe was a no-brainer for us. This recipe has an easy homemade taco seasoning, ground beef, onions and peppers. The sauce adds a lot of creamy, chipotle lime flavor, so we left the rest of the toppings as optional. Some great toppings would be:
Shredded cheese (not Whole30)Sour cream (not whole30)Salsa or hot sauceAvocadoSliced jalapeñoCilantro
It’s all about the sauce
We love making homemade sauces and this creamy chipotle lime sauce might be my all time favorite. If you have an immersion blender, it’s just about the easiest sauce you can make. Just be sure to use a jar or cup that is just slightly wider than your immersion blender, that’s the key to get the sauce to emulsify and thicken. Just be warned, once you make this sauce, you’ll be making it again and putting it on everything.
