Sweet ripe tomatoes are stuffed with a creamy, slightly smokey guacamole studded with pepitas and smoked almonds. The guacamole is inspired by one of the ones at a nearby restaurant, Mezcal.

Ingredients
- 20 to 24 large cherry tomatoes (or Campari) shopping list
- 2 medium ripe avocados shopping list
- juice of 1 lime shopping list
- 1/4 c finely diced red onion shopping list
- 1 glove garlic, minced shopping list
- 2 Tbsp cilantro shopping list
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (or 1/4 tsp jalapeno powder) shopping list
- 1/2 tsp cumin shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped smoked almonds shopping list
- 2 tbsp pepitas (I used raw, but you can use slated/toasted) shopping list
- Pinch chipotle chili powder shopping list
- salt & pepper to taste shopping list
- Additional chopped cilantro, lime slices and pepitas for garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Slice tops off of tomatoes and scoop out seeds and flesh. Sprinkle very lightly with salt (optional) and place cut side down on paper towels to drain for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mash avocado with lime juice. Stir in onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno (or powder) cumin, almonds, pepitas and chipotle chili powder. Season to taste with salt and/or pepper (go light on the salt if you salted the tomatoes)
- Stuff tomatoes with guacamole, garnish as desired and serve.
- Note: You can cut a very thin slice off the bottoms of the tomatoes if you're worried about them rolling around your serving platter. Or, slice some limes into circle and place one tomato on each lime slice - the little "well" at the center of the lime may be enough to keep them upright.
