- Peel 1 large ripe tomato and carefully cut off the top, creating a lid.
- Gently scoop out the tomato pulp, reserving about 2 tablespoons for the mixture (optional).
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 ripe avocados (diced), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1-2 jalapeños (finely minced, adjust to taste), 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 2-3 dashes Tabasco sauce (or to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gently mix until combined.
- If desired, add the 2 tablespoons of reserved tomato pulp to the avocado mixture.
- Carefully fill the hollowed-out tomato with the avocado mixture.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
