Mexican Deviled Eggs

Mexican Deviled Eggs are a spicy twist on your classic deviled eggs. Mexican Deviled Eggs are an appetizer with a little more kick than your average deviled egg.

MEXICAN DEVILED EGGS

Deviled eggs is a classic dish that always makes an appearance at Christmas, Easter, and basically any get together we have. Usually it’s my grandma who brings them and they always go quickly. I know what you’re thinking? Deviled eggs? Aren’t those washed up…soooo 1980’s.

In some regions people refer to these as “Angel Eggs” because at church potlucks people didn’t want to use the word “devil”. Or if they were made with healthy ingredients they would also be called “Angel Eggs”. So knowing that, these are definitely DEVILED eggs with a capital ‘D’. Spicy, creamy…yeah there’s nothing light or angelic about these.

If you need some tips on boiling eggs I did a whole tutorial here. Mayo is always part of deviled eggs and if my mom makes them, watch out. There’s about 5 cups of mayo in her version. Last time I visited home my mom had a bucket of mayo in her fridge. No joke. As I was making the deviled egg filling she kept telling me, “More mayo. More mayo!”

Don’t worry! These definitely don’t have 5 cups of mayo in them. I did however want to update the traditional favorite with a Mexican kick. To give ours a twist I added some sour cream, chives, and Old El Paso taco seasoning! Simple enough that everyone still loves them but different enough that people will notice a Mexican flair.

A little trick I use is to place the filling in a resealable plastic bag and snip off the corner to pipe the filling into the eggs. You could use a fancy piping tip but WHO has time for that?

You know how classic deviled eggs are often sprinkled with paprika for color? Well…we’re using taco seasoning. Use a strainer and with a light hand gently sprinkle on top. Trust me, you want to go light here just to accentuate the flavors but not to be overpowering.

I topped mine with a little more cheddar and finely diced avocado. Man, that took it to a new level.

A sprinkle of chives makes the dish look finished and appetizing!
