    Use a paring knife to core a tomato: Insert tip next to stem, and then make a shallow cut all around; remove stem. To seed a tomato, cut in half lengthwise. Holding cut side down, gently squeeze to remove most of the seeds. Slicing a tomato is best done with a serrated or very sharp-bladed knife.

      There was very little flavor. I WOULD NOT recommend this recipe. It was a waste of great fresh ingredients!

      Ron made this around noon and it was delicious, he made the Flour Tortilla Chips to go with it. WOW! This is definitely a keeper. Great for game days.
