Stuffed tomatoes are always a hit when stuffed with tuna or chicken salad, but have you ever thought of stuffing them like a taco? It's a great way to enjoy tacos without the tortillas.
1 T. extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 oz. packet taco seasoning
4 large, ripe beefsteak tomatoes
1/2 c. shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/2 c. shredded iceberg lettuce
1/4 c. sour cream
Wash tomatoes; dry. Turn over tomatoes to stem side down; slice to make 6 wedges, being careful NOT to cut all the way through. Carefully spread open wedges.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil; add onion; cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes. Add ground beef; cook, breaking up meat, until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Discard fat. Add taco seasoning; stir well.
Evenly divide meat among tomatoes.
Serve, topped with cheese, lettuce and sour cream.
4 servings.
