Stuffed Bake Tomatoes

Okay, as an athlete, you don't always have the time to make some food to eat. Here's a quick recipe that I made which is super simple and delicious!

Ingredients:
2 Tomatoes
1/2 cup of cooked rice (more flavourful rice the better. eg. jasmine)
-(another note, I have some containers of rice that is already cooked. I put what I need in a bowl, add a tiny bit of water, and microwave for around 1 minute and voila! soft, cooked, ready to eat rice)
1 tbsp dried basil
1 can of light tuna
1 tbsp EVOO
mozzarella cheese
salt & pepper

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 400F
2) Coat a baking pan with EVOO
3) In a bowl, flake tuna and mix in rice, basil, salt and pepper.
4) Slice tomatoes around 5/8" of an inch.
5) Spoon tuna/rice mix on top of each sliced tomato.
6) Add mozzarella cheese on top.
7) Bake for 15 minutes.
8) Place cooked tomatoes onto plate and drizzle the left over EVOO which was used to coat the pan onto the tomatoes.
9) Salt and pepper to taste.

Prep work took me 5-6 minutes. This recipe probably has around 20g of fat! It also has your servings of vegetables, protein, dairy, and carbs! Enjoy!
