By chelyc13

Ingredients

• 2 pints cherry tomatoes (about 32)
• 6 slices bacon
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, finely chopped
• 1 cup finely chopped romaine lettuce leaves from the heart
• Salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. 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.

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

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

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