When the nights are still hot and fresh tomatoes are abundant, Taco Stuffed Tomatoes are a terrific, no-fuss supper option to herald the end-of-summer. This quick low-carb meal uses ground beef, spicy taco seasoning, and your favorite toppings and salsas, and comes together in one skillet, in about half an hour
This is the first dish I turn to when I have a surplus of tomatoes. It’s similar to stuffed peppers, except the tomatoes stay cold and fresh instead of being baked. Each one is filled with seasoned ground beef, browned onions, lettuce, shredded cheese and the insides of the hollowed-out tomatoes for a quick and inexpensive meal that everyone enjoys. This American cuisine can be served as an appetizer, dinner or snacks, depending on how you love it.

Tips
- Depending on the size and shape of the tomatoes you choose, you may need to scale up the recipe and create a second batch to fit them. Fortunately, this is simple to accomplish, and leftovers are always appreciated.
The filling may be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the microwave or in a pan. stuff the tomatoes just before you plan to dine.
