Carve 2 medium squash: slice off top (the way you would a bell pepper for stuffing). Scrape out seeds, rinse, and set aside to drain. In a skillet, heat the oil. Saute the garlic on medium. Add the diced veggies; and sauce a bitt. Add the cilantro and tomato juice; season. Cover and simmer 5 minute. Add the cooked beans to toss. Stuff squash; top with cheese. Recap.
