Cook spaghetti squash via desired method (I cut in half and bake on 375 for 40 min)
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, jalapeno and red bell pepper. Sauté 2 minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, chili powder, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté 1 more minute. Stir in meat and brown. Stir in beans, corn, half of cilantro and lime juice until well combined. Add the “spaghetti” from each squash to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Taste and season as desired.
When squash has cooled enough to handle, spoon out the seeds and discard, then scrape up the spaghetti squash flesh with a fork, creating the “spaghetti.”
Set oven to broil. Place "spaghetti" in baking dish and top squash vegetable/meat mixture and top with grated cheddar. Broil until cheese melts and gets brown and bubbly, 1-2 minutes.
