Ingredients

Tomato Cups

  • 10 medium plum (Roma) tomatoes
  • 1 ripe large avocado, pitted, peeled and finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cucumber
  • 1 medium jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons whipping cream or milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    Cut each tomato in half crosswise. Using teaspoon, scoop out seeds and pulp from each tomato half, leaving enough tomato for a firm shell. If necessary, cut small slice from bottom so tomato half stands upright.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, mix remaining tomato cup ingredients. In small bowl, mix topping ingredients. Spoon about 1 tablespoon avocado mixture into each tomato shell. Top each with about 1 teaspoon topping.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The heat level of jalapeño chiles can vary. Start by using just half of the chile if you want a less spicy version.
  • tip 2
    Sprinkle the tops of the tomatoes with additional chopped cilantro.
