Print Recipe

A quick and easy snack featuring creamy avocado filling in hard-boiled eggs, seasoned with tangy Tajín and fresh cilantro for a flavorful twist on classic deviled eggs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Tajín, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeño

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Heat over medium-high until water reaches a rolling boil, about 8 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Crack the eggshells gently and peel under running water if needed. Slice each egg in half lengthwise with a sharp knife.
  4. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving plate.
  5. Add the mashed avocado to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mash together using a fork or potato masher until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  6. Stir in fresh lime juice, Tajín, chopped cilantro, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Add minced garlic or jalapeño if using. Mix until evenly combined and taste to adjust seasoning.
  7. Spoon or pipe the avocado yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites.
  8. Sprinkle extra Tajín and chopped cilantro on top of each deviled egg.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for best peeling results. Chill eggs in ice water immediately after boiling to prevent overcooking and green rings around yolks. Lime juice helps prevent avocado browning. Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner cut off for a neater filling presentation. Assemble just before serving for best texture.
