Directions

Cut off the stem ends of the tomatoes and discard. Using a paring knife, remove the seeds and discard; place the tomatoes cut side down on paper towels to drain.

Meanwhile, in a heavy skillet, over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate, then finely chop.

Stir together the mayonnaise and chipotle and spoon into a resealable bag. Cut off the tip of one corner.

Place the tomatoes cut side up on a platter and press some romaine inside each tomato; sprinkle with salt. Pipe some chipotle mayo over the romaine and top with bacon.

Make it ahead:

Stuff the tomatoes with the romaine a few hours before your get-together. Just before serving, sprinkle with salt, add the chipotle mayo and top with the bacon.
