Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash the squash, then cut each squash in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Dice 2 cloves garlic and 1 chipotle chili; combine with 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and ¼ cup olive oil, then rub on both sides of the squash. (Alternatively, rub each squash half with ½ tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.)
Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 25 minutes, until tender when poked with a fork.
Meanwhile, when the rice finishes, thinly slice 3 green onions. Chop ¼ cup cilantro. Drain and rinse 1 can beans.
In a large bowl, mix together 2½ cups cooked brown rice, sliced green onions, 1 ½ cups salsa, black beans, 1½ cups corn kernels, 2 tablespoons adobo sauce, 1½ teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons chili powder ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ cup shredded cheese. Taste, and adjust seasonings if desired.
When the squash are done, scoop the filling into each half. If desired, top with a few dashes hot sauce. Cover with shredded cheese, and place in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts. Top with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.
