Tips:

Choose ripe and firm tomatoes for stuffing. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
Hollow out the tomatoes carefully, leaving a thin shell. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from collapsing.
Use a variety of fillings to create different flavor combinations. Some popular options include rice, beans, corn, cheese, and ground beef.
Season the filling generously with herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes.
Bake the tomatoes in a preheated oven until they are tender and the filling is cooked through. This usually takes around 30 minutes.
Serve the tomatoes warm or at room temperature. They can be garnished with fresh herbs, sour cream, or salsa.
