Sprinkle with additional ground red chilies and sliced green onions if desired. Cover and refrigerate at least a hours to blend flavors but no longer than 48 hours.FOOD for THOUGHTWhen you're tired, any new thing can seem like a daunting task. To make filling the tomatoes easier, fill 5 or 6 roma (plum) tomatoes instead of the cherry tomatoes. No need to scoop out the seeds just make a hole in the tomato by making a cone-shaped cut near the stem end and removing the stem. Fill the tomatoes with the cheese mixture, and you're all set.NUTRITION FACTS: High in vitamins A and C low fiber1 SERVING: Calories 125 (Calories from Fat 65) Fat 6g (Saturated 4g) Cholesterol 20mg Sodium 260mg Potassium 320mg Carbohydrate 9g (Dietary Fiber 1g) Protein 8g % DAILY VALUE: Vitamin A 22% Vitamin C 24% Calcium 10% Iron 4% Folic Acid 24% Magnesium 4% DIET EXCHANGES: 1/2 High-Fat Meat, 2 Vegetable 1/2 FatFrom "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
