I received free samples of Cabot Cheese mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Cabot Cheese and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

I decided to make taco stuffed tomatoes because we have been blessed with a bountiful tomato harvest this year.  I have been coming up with creative ways to use extra tomatoes in our everyday meals.  Yesterday, I put at least a quart of fresh diced tomatoes in a big pot of chili along with some canned tomatoes and simmered it on low all afternoon and it was so good.  I have frozen and canned some tomatoes and will preserve more before the garden is done for the year, but this is a delicious way to enjoy them fresh which is always the best.  
Taco Stuffed Tomatoes
Tacos are one of our favorite busy night meals and we love fresh tomatoes so it only made since to put the two together. These taco stuffed tomatoes are such an easy, budget friendly meal. We have had them a few times this summer and the whole family loves them.   
Taco Stuffed Tomatoes
These taco stuffed tomatoes combine all the delicious toppings of tacos with fresh ripe tomatoes. You stuff taco meat into the tomatoes and then top with diced lettuce and shredded sharp cheddar cheese.  Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar Cheese is the perfect cheese to compliment the fresh flavors in these taco stuffed tomatoes.

Simply cut them up and eat like a deliciously fresh taco salad.  ​
