Key Ingredients for Irresistible Elote Deviled Eggs with Zesty Chipotle Mayo

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delectable eggs (makes about 12 servings):

• 6 large eggs (boiled and peeled)
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Halal)
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• ¼ cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (or Queso Fresco, Halal)
• 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Extra corn and lime wedges for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes before removing them from the water and placing them in ice water to cool.
2. Prepare the Filling: Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel the shells carefully. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
3. Add the Goodies: Into the bowl with yolks, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash everything together until it’s smooth and creamy.
4. Mix in Corn and Cheese: Gently fold in corn kernels and crumbled feta cheese into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to smoosh the corn too much.
5. Fill the Eggs: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the filled eggs for a pop of color. Optionally, top with extra corn for that authentic elote feel.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Irresistible Elote Deviled Eggs with Zesty Chipotle Mayo chilled, with lime wedges on the side for that extra zing!

Top Tips for Perfecting Irresistible Elote Deviled Eggs with Zesty Chipotle Mayo

• Cheese Substitutions: If you’re not a fan of feta, feel free to use Halal-friendly cream cheese for a creamier texture.
• Right Timing: Make sure not to overboil the eggs, as this can cause a greenish hue around the yolk and make them taste chalky. Following the timing method outlined ensures perfectly boiled eggs every time!
• Avoid Common Mistakes: When mixing the filling, be gentle when folding in the corn so that you keep some of that delightful crunch!

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have any leftovers (though unlikely!), store your Irresistible Elote Deviled Eggs with Zesty Chipotle Mayo in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last up to 2 days. However, it’s best to consume them fresh to enjoy their creamy taste and crunchy textures. To preserve the original taste and texture, do not freeze these eggs.
