--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  30                    cherry tomatoes
   2      very ripe     avocados -- pitted and cubed
   1      tablespoon    sour cream
     1/2  cup           minced onion
   1      envelope      guacamole dip mix
   1      teaspoon      fresh lemon juice
          dash          cayenne pepper
                        sunflower seeds

Cut the tops of cherry tomatoes and reserve.  Scoop out centers with a
paring knife or small end of a melon baller.  (Save the tomato tops for
garnishing.)  Chill the hollow tomatoes until time to fill.

To prepare filling, whip the avocado and sour cream in a blender.  Add the
chopped onion, guacamole mix, lemon juice and cayenne.

Pipe the mixture generously into the tomato cups using a pastry bag with a
plain 1/2-inch tip, or use a teaspoon.  Top with a sprinkle of sunflower
seeds and cap with the tomato tops.  Refrigerate until serving time.

Special Hint:  Trim a paper-thin slice off the bottom of the tomatoes to
keep them from rolling.
