• 4 tomatoes
• 1 T. extra-virgin olive oil

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil; add onion; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and taco seasoning, breaking up the meat while cooking. Season with salt and pepper; cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat and discard; set aside.

3. Divide taco meat evenly among the tomatoes; top each with cheese, lettuce and sour cream.
