Ingredients
  • 24 Cherry Tomatoes
  • 2 Avocados
  • 1/4 Red Onion
  • 1/2 Jalapeño
  • 2 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • to taste Hot Sauce

Prepare the Tomatoes

Wash the cherry tomatoes and gently pat them dry. Using a small, sharp knife, carefully cut a small 'x' on the bottom of each tomato. This will allow you to easily remove the pulp and create space for the filling.

Remove the Pulp

Using a small spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop out the pulp from each tomato. Be careful not to puncture the sides of the tomato. Discard the pulp or save it for another use.

Make the Guacamole

In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until smooth. Add the chopped red onion, chopped jalapeño, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using) to taste. Mix well to combine.

Fill the Tomatoes

Transfer the guacamole to a piping bag fitted with a small tip, or use a small spoon. Carefully fill each cherry tomato with the guacamole mixture, slightly overfilling them for a nice presentation.

Chill and Serve

Arrange the stuffed cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, as the guacamole may brown slightly over time.
