By Eliot, on November 5th, 2012%

On our last trip to Santa Fe, I had a beautiful stuffed acorn squash with brown rice, black bean chili, red sauce, and cojita at Harry’s Roadhouse. I really wanted to try to capture the New Mexican influence of that simple stuffed squash meal at Harry’s to help us with our New Mexico blues. And, I wanted to make it a bit healthier.
