Spicy chorizo is a perfect offset to the mellow meat of summer squash. Leftover bean and chorizo mixture is great for breakfast burritos.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large pattypan squash, halved and seeded
1 cup water
½ (1 pound) chorizo sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
½ green bell pepper, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup black beans
½ cup corn
1 ounce shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place squash, cut-side down, in a baking dish; add water.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is softened and browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add green bell pepper and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato, chicken stock, black beans, and corn; cook and stir until liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir chorizo into mixture.
  • Flip squash over and fill each half with chorizo mixture; top with Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
