We're all for a genius low-carb hack — and these tomatoes totally deliver. We had never thought to stuff them with taco meat, cheese, and sour cream, but we'll do anything in the name of ditching a tortilla for a low-carb meal. You can change up the fillings for cheeseburger tomatoes, too.

Ingredients

1/4 c. Sour cream
1/2 c. Shredded iceberg lettuce
1/2 c. Shredded Mexican cheese blend
4 Large, ripe beefsteak tomatoes
1 packet Taco seasoning
1 Medium onion, chopped
3/4 pound Ground beef
Extra-virgin olive oil

Method

01

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes. Add ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 8 minutes. Drain fat.
02

Flip over tomatoes so they’re stem-side down and slice to make 6 wedges, being careful not to cut all the way through. Carefully spread open wedges.
03

Divide taco meat among tomatoes, then top each with cheese, lettuce, and sour cream before serving.
