Description
Delightful Mexican-style deviled eggs featuring a punch of flavor from taco seasoning and fresh cilantro, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped finely)
Instructions
- Cook the eggs until soft: If you’re using an Instant Pot, place your eggs in the steel insert, cover with water, and pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. If you’re sticking to the stovetop, cover the eggs in a saucepan with water, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let them sit for 7-8 minutes. Once cooled, peel those little gems.
- Prepare the egg yolks: Halve the cooled eggs lengthwise and pop the yolks into a mixing bowl. You can ask your kids to help with this step; they’ll find it amusing.
- Mash the yolks: Go ahead and mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. There’s something oddly therapeutic about this step, isn’t there?
- Mix in the add-ins: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, and taco seasoning to the mashed yolks. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Fill the egg whites: Grab a piping bag or zip-top bag to fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle extra taco seasoning on top and some finely chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
These deviled eggs can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. They taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.
