Directions

Prep 5 minCook 15 min

1
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning; cook, breaking the meat into crumbles, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
2
Drain excess fat from the skillet and set the meat aside. For each tomato, turn it stem-side down and cut into 6 wedges without slicing all the way through; gently fan the wedges open to create a pocket.
3
Spoon the taco meat into the tomatoes. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream, and serve immediately.
