  • Add the required water. Stir together. Cover and cook according to the directions on the package.

  • Place the tomatoes in a large baking dish. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • When the rice is cooked through, use a fork to fluff it up. Add the shredded cheese and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if desired. Stir to combine. Then spoon the rice mixture into the tomatoes.

  • Remove from the oven. Top with desired toppings and enjoy!
