Serves 4

4 fresh tomatoes
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb. NNBeef premium ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning (see below for GF homemade; use 2 T)
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2/3 c. shredded Mexican cheese (or raw cheddar & jack)
1/2 c. shredded iceberg lettuce (or sliced Romaine)
1/2 c. sour cream (or plain grassfed Greek yogurt)

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add NNBeef and taco seasoning, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat and set aside.

Flip tomatoes so they are stem-side down. Cut the tomatoes into six wedges, being careful to not cut completely through the tomato. Carefully spread open the wedges.

Divide taco meat evenly among the tomatoes, then top each with cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Optional: black olives, cilantro, raw onion, sliced jalapenos or serrano peppers. For Paleo: omit dairy
