Ingredients

1 tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 lb.
ground beef
1
medium onion, chopped
1
(1-oz.) packet taco seasoning
4
large, ripe beefsteak tomatoes
1/2 c.
shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions

1. Step 1In 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.
2. Step 2Flip 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.
3. Step 3Divide taco meat among tomatoes, then top each with cheese, lettuce, and sour cream before serving.
