Ingredients

• 6 Large eggs
• 1 Ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Chipotle chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 Cherry tomatoes, diced (for garnish)
• 12 Cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove the saucepan from the heat, cover with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath and let them cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.

Step 4

While the eggs are cooling, cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado until smooth and set aside.

Step 5

Peel the eggs and carefully slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and transfer them to the bowl with the mashed avocado. Place the egg whites on a serving tray.

Step 6

To the avocado-yolk mixture, add mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.

Step 7

Spoon or pipe the filling into the hollowed-out egg whites, dividing it evenly among all the halves.

Step 8

Garnish each deviled egg with a small dice of cherry tomato and a cilantro leaf for a fresh, colorful finish.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy your South of the Border Deviled Eggs!
