Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs (boiled and peeled) Boiled and peeled for filling.
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Halal) Could use any preferred mayonnaise.
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice Freshly squeezed preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 0.25 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen) Add for texture and flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (or Queso Fresco, Halal) Optional substitutes include Halal-friendly cream cheese.
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro (finely chopped) For garnish.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.
  • extra corn and lime wedges for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. 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. 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. 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. Gently fold in corn kernels and crumbled feta cheese into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to smoosh the corn too much.
  5. Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
  6. 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 your Irresistible Elote Deviled Eggs with Zesty Chipotle Mayo chilled, with lime wedges on the side for that extra zing!

Notes

For best results, avoid overboiling the eggs. These deviled eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
