When the onion begins to soften and become translucent, add in the spices (chili powder, cumin, and cayenne) and reduce the heat to medium-low. 8.Chop the Swiss chard into ribbons after removing any thick stems, and add them to the pan to begin to wilt. 9.Add in cooked beans and drained diced tomatoes and allow the mixture to cook together for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally on medium-low heat. 10.Once the squash is removed from the oven and cooled a bit, flip them over and scoop some of the flesh out of the neck of the squash and set aside for another purpose Spoon the filling into the squash, heaping it on top.
