Description

Elote Deviled Eggs with Chipotle Mayo combine classic deviled eggs with the smoky, cheesy flavors of Mexican street corn for a vibrant, spicy, and creamy appetizer perfect for any fiesta or gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 12 large eggs

Yolk Mixture

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely diced jalapeño (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle mayo (mayonnaise mixed with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce)
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Peel eggs and slice in half lengthwise.
  2. Prepare Egg Whites: Scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange egg whites on a serving platter.
  3. Make the Yolk Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  4. Season the Mixture: Season the yolk mixture with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring balanced flavor.
  5. Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves evenly.
  6. Add Toppings: In a small bowl, combine cotija cheese, red onion, and jalapeño if using. Sprinkle this mixture over the filled deviled eggs.
  7. Drizzle with Chipotle Mayo: Add a small drizzle of chipotle mayo over each egg for smoky heat.
  8. Garnish: Finish by sprinkling paprika on top for color and a mild smoky flavor.

Notes

  • For a smoother filling, use a hand mixer or food processor to blend the yolks and other ingredients.
  • If chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are unavailable, substitute with smoked paprika and a dash of hot sauce for similar flavor.
  • Cotija cheese can be replaced with grated Parmesan cheese if needed.
