Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large eggs
- 1 piece ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water reaches a full boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.
Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the avocado, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl with the yolks. Mash everything together using a fork until smooth and well combined.
If you want to add a touch of heat, stir in the finely chopped jalapeño pepper at this stage.
Spoon or pipe the Tex Mex filling into the hollowed-out egg whites. Divide the filling evenly among the egg halves.
Garnish the deviled eggs with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a dash of smoked paprika, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
