Why stuff tortillas for lunch, when you can switch to a healthier but equally delicious version of your favorite dish? Buy fresh tomatoes instead, and stuff them with taco meat, cheese, bacon, onion and sour cream. This is a nutritious and tasty lunch—or even dinner option—that can easily be prepared in less than 20 minutes.
