Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat. Cover and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 12-14 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
-
Once the eggs are cooled and peeled, slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg white halves on a serving platter.
-
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly. Add in the mayonnaise, mustard, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
-
Stir in the chopped red onion and cilantro. These fresh, zesty ingredients will add a burst of flavor and texture to your deviled egg filling.
-
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. For an extra kick, top your deviled eggs with sliced jalapeños, crumbled queso fresco, and a sprinkle of chili powder.
-
Once assembled, cover and refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the eggs to chill.
-
Serve your Mexican deviled eggs chilled as a colorful and flavorful appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are great for parties, picnics, or simply as a tasty snack for yourself.
