Ingredients
For the Guacamole:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 small onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeds removed and finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Stuffed Tomatoes:
- 20 cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes: Rinse the cherry tomatoes and carefully slice off the tops. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, gently scoop out the seeds and inner pulp, creating hollow cavities for the guacamole stuffing. Set aside.
- Make the Guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocados until creamy but still slightly chunky. Add the finely diced onion, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeno, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Stuff the Tomatoes: Using a small spoon, fill each hollowed cherry tomato with the prepared guacamole, pressing gently to pack as much filling as possible without breaking the tomato. Place the stuffed tomatoes on a serving plate.
- Chill and Serve: For best flavor, refrigerate the stuffed tomatoes for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled as a refreshing appetizer or snack.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of jalapeno to control the heat level of the guacamole.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to ensure a creamy texture without being too mushy.
- If you prefer, add a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika to the guacamole for extra depth of flavor.
- These stuffed tomatoes are best served the same day to maintain freshness.
- For a vegan and gluten-free option, this recipe fits perfectly.
