Stuffed Taco Tomatoes
Ingredients:
- 4-6 large tomatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 4 cups spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the top off each tomato and carefully scoop out all the pulp, creating a hollow cavity. Place the hollowed tomatoes in a baking dish.
- In a large sauté pan, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Once cooked through, add the taco seasoning to the beef and stir until well combined.
- Add the chopped spinach and corn to the pan with the beef. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Spoon the beef and spinach mixture into the hollowed-out tomatoes, distributing it evenly among them. If there is any leftover beef mixture, you can spread it in the bottom of the baking dish around the tomatoes.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the stuffed tomatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes are heated through.
- Once out of the oven, garnish the stuffed tomatoes with freshly chopped cilantro.
- Serve hot as a delicious and flavorful main dish or as a side. Enjoy your stuffed taco tomatoes!
