Ingredients

• 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes washed
• 4 slices bacon cooked crisp
• 1 med avocado
• 2 tablespoons feta cheese

3. Stir in the red onion, feta cheese, lemon juice, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.

4. Fill each hollowed out tomato half with guacamole to slightly overflowing. 

5. Break off small pieces of bacon, and place a piece on top of each guacamole-stuffed tomato.

6. Best if served immediately.
