Instructions

Cook Rice & Prep
1

• In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to use. • While rice cooks, adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve tomatoes lengthwise; using a spoon, scoop out tomato insides onto a cutting board. Roughly chop tomato insides and transfer to a medium bowl. Drain and rinse beans.

Start Filling
2

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, tomato insides, beans, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallion whites are tender and beans are warmed through, 2-3 minutes. • Add Tex-Mex paste and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until liquid has slightly reduced, 30-60 seconds. • Remove pan from heat.

Finish Filling & Bake Tomatoes
3

• Fluff rice with a fork; transfer to pan with bean mixture and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish (9-by-13-inch baking dish for 4 servings) with a drizzle of olive oil. Fill each tomato half with as much filling as will fit; place tomato halves, cut sides up, in baking dish. Evenly sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. TIP: Save any extra filling for serving. • Bake on top rack until tomatoes are tender and cheese melts, 8-10 minutes.

Serve
4

• Divide stuffed tomatoes between plates and top with sour cream and scallion greens. Serve with tortilla chips and any remaining filling on the side. TIP: If you like things extra spicy, drizzle tomatoes with your favorite hot sauce.
