Nacho Jalapeno Deviled Eggs
Need an idea for what to bring to a potluck? Or an appetizer for game day? These deviled eggs have you covered.
For a little deviled egg, each one of these packs a punch thanks to nacho jalapenos (from a jar) that are in the egg filling as well as on top of the deviled egg for garnish.
These deviled eggs make a wonderful side dish or appetizer and are also handy to have in the fridge for a quick lunch or snack.
They last nicely in the fridge which works out great when making them ahead of time.
About this Recipe
The egg filling is made with chili powder, cumin and cilantro which adds a wonderful “south of the border” flavor.
And just the right amount of salt makes these deviled eggs taste so good.
So be sure and do a taste test on the filling and add more salt if needed.
About Boiling the Eggs
As easy as it sounds to “boil an egg”, there is actually an art to it so not to overcook the eggs.
In this post from Simply Recipes…“How to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs”…there are some great tips.
These deviled eggs are easy to make and are the perfect finger food for any occasion.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Hard boiled eggs, nacho jalapenos (from a jar), cilantro, green onion, mayonnaise, ground cumin, ground chili, salt and pepper
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
Boil the eggs, let them cool, and remove the shell.
Cut each egg in half lengthwise.
Carefully remove the yolk from each egg with a small spoon and put them in a medium size bowl.
Use a fork to mash the yolks into the smallest pieces possible.
Add mayonnaise and whisk together with the egg yolks…
…until the mixture is smooth.
Chop the cilantro,
green onion,
and nacho jalapenos.
Then add them to the egg mixture.
Next add the ground cumin,
chili powder,
pepper, and
salt.
Mix together.
This is a good time to do a quick taste test to see if more salt is needed.
Fill the hollowed egg whites generously with the egg yolk mixture.
There may be a couple of egg whites’ leftover.
Top each deviled egg with a slice of nacho jalapeno.
Serve with a piece of lime so the juice can be squeezed on top of the egg right before eating.

Just made these…Yumm!! Gotta remember though, in TX, when something is marked “spicy” (i.e. diced jalapenos): it’s SPICY!
Hi Amber! so glad you liked these. Now I’m thinking that I should have added more jalapenos in the recipe for TX taste buds! Have a great rest of the week!
Interesting variation!
