Ingredients

  • ½ avocado
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon Tajin
  • ½ jalapeno (or serrano) sliced
  • 1 tablespoon corn freshly grilled or frozen and thawed
  • 1 oz Queso fresco sliced or crumbled
  • 1 lime quartered
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water and cook for 8 minutes from the moment they boil over medium heat.
  • Transfer them to ice water for 3 minutes. Peel. Cut in half and separate the yolks. Trim the ends so that they stand upright on a serving plate.
  • Place Tajin on a flat plate and dip the egg white halves into it. Shake off excess and place the whites on a serving plate.
  • Add salt and pepper to the yolks and mash with a fork. Mix with avocado puree.
  • Taste for salt. The filling is ready.
  • Place the filling in a pastry bag with a star tip and pipe into the egg cups.
  • Top with corn kernels, jalapeno slices, queso cheese, and drizzle with lime.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
  • A few dashes of hot sauce for extra heat

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! You can boil the eggs and prep the filling up to one day in advance. Store the components separately and assemble just before serving for the best texture.

What can I use instead of Tajin? If you don’t have Tajin, try a mix of chili powder, lime zest, and salt. It won’t be quite the same, but it will still be tasty.

Are these deviled eggs spicy? They have a mild kick from the jalapeño and Tajin, but you can make them spicier with more jalapeño or a splash of hot sauce.
