Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese, finely grated
- 3 pieces Cherry tomatoes, diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Tortilla chips, crushed (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water boils, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool completely, about 5 minutes.
Gently crack and peel the eggs. Rinse them under cold water to remove any shell residue.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Place the egg whites on a serving platter, cut side up.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until fine and crumbly.
Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, chopped jalapeños, cilantro, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well-combined.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese and diced cherry tomatoes (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Spoon or pipe the filling into the cavities of the egg whites. Use a pastry bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off for a neater presentation.
Garnish with crushed tortilla chips, additional cilantro, or a small slice of pickled jalapeño for a decorative touch.
Refrigerate the Tex Mex Devils for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy these zesty appetizers!
