I love fall and all the squash that comes with it!  I am always thinking of new ways to enjoy it and this Taco Stuffed Acorn Squash did not disappoint.  In fact my husband will not eat squash of any kind but he devoured this.  Having only 5 main ingredients plus a few spices and garnish it comes together so easily!  You could use any squash you like too!
