Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5-7 minutes.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. Place the chopped eggs in a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until evenly combined.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
To assemble the tacos, place a small handful of shredded romaine lettuce on each tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of the Tex Mex egg salad.
Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired, and fold the tortillas to close.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tex Mex Egg Salad Tacos!
