Ingredient List
- 8 large plum (Roma) tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons from 1 container (6.25 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
- 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz)
- 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Preparation
- Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Being careful not to cut through the bottom, make 1/4-inch vertical slices in each tomato, leaving 1/2 inch base uncut.
- In small bowl, mix oil and taco seasoning mix. Brush all over tomatoes. Stuff chiles and green onions into slices in tomatoes; top chiles and onions with Monterey Jack cheese. Place in baking dish. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until cheese melts and tomatoes and filling are warmed through.
- Top with queso fresco cheese and cilantro. Serve warm.
Expert Tips
- Serve with cilantro lime rice for a great, summery vegetarian dinner option.
- Most Roma tomatoes have a flatter side. To avoid rolling in the baking dish, try to turn the flatter side to the bottom. If some tomatoes still roll, make a ball of foil to prop up between the tomatoes.
