Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Hard-Boiled Eggs (Fresh Cooked or Store Bought)
- 2 tbsp Mayo
- 1 tbsp Sour Cream
- 2 tsp Taco Seasoning divided
- 2 tbsp Shredded Cheese
- 1 Jalapeno diced and seeds removed (reserve a little for garnish)
- 3 tbsp Red Onion diced divided
- 3 tsp Cilantro chopped and divided
- Juice from 1 Lime Wedge
- 1 small Tomato diced for garnish
Instructions
- Hard boil 6 eggs and peel the white shell off or buy pre-made hardboiled eggs like I did to make this super easy!
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove the egg yolks. They should pop out easily if you flip them over and press on it lightly.
- Add all the egg yolks to a small bowl and combine with the sour cream, mayo, 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning, and lime juice. I used an electric hand mixer for this part.
- Once the mixture is creamy and fully combined, mix in the cheese, most of the jalapeno, 2 tbsp onion, and 2 tsp cilantro.
- Place mixture into a Ziploc bag or piping bag. (see above instructions on my plastic bag method)
- Place the hard boiled egg whites into a deviled egg tray and gently squeeze mixture into the cavity in a circular motion until it is full and crowning over the egg. If using a round tray or plate, start in the middle so you don’t have to reach over eggs that have already been filled.
- Sprinkle the tops of the eggs with diced tomato (optional), remaining jalapeno, onion, cilantro and taco seasoning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
