    Chorizo deviled eggs

    Mexican Deviled Eggs. How about a little South of the Border Tapas?  Mexican Chorizo sausage, Dijon and Sherry Vinegar turns a deviled egg into an exciting version of this classic popular appetizer.

    I feel like I probably love deviled eggs more than most people. After all, I called my Mom the deviled egg queen. She made them often, and she made them mouth watering delicious.

    Nothing special, mayo, sugar and mustard. I’m assuming this is a classic Southern Deviled Egg method. And no matter how many she made, the platter of those eggs would disappear quickly.

    It seems she’s handed down the crown to me, because with her recipe, I find myself in the same situation. They’re requested whenever I ask what to bring for any pot luck situation. And you bet, they don’t last long.

    I’m in no way a purist when it comes to making deviled eggs. I’ll gladly try a new flavor combination as long as I’m sure they’ll be good.

    For example, I developed a BBQ bacon Football Deviled Eggs recipe for Stubbs BBQ Sauce which involved a mix of sour cream and mayo. And take a look at my recipe for Spicy Deviled Eggs, with New Mexico Chile Powder.

    So how did I come up with this idea for Mexican Deviled Eggs? Our friends Kathy and Tom gave me this cute and fun cookbook for Christmas, W.I.N.O.S. (Women In Need Of Sanity) GO TAPAS. by Bonnie Jesseph.

    As I was thumbing through it at our party, Tom asked what I was going to make first. My reply was “have you ever played Recipe Roulette?” So that’s what I did and here are the rules.

    Recipe Roulette:  You take a cookbook in your hands, close your eyes, spin the cookbook every which direction possible. With eyes still closed open the cookbook and point your finger on the open page. Open your eyes and you have to make the recipe your finger has landed on.

    You HAVE to – it’s the rules.

    My finger landed on Spanish Deviled Eggs, which instructed to top the finished egg with Spanish Chorizo. My mind immediately shifted to Mexican Chorizo and switching out the instructed parsley garnish with cilantro.

    Let’s take a look.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    ingredients to make Mexican Deviled Eggs
    • Mayonnaise: Your favorite brand.
    • Roasted Red Bell Peppers: No need to roast your own, A jar of roasted red peppers will work like a charm.
    • Sherry Vinegar: The flavor of Sherry Vinegar is a complex combination of sweet and sour. I have to admit, it’s my favorite vinegar to use in my kitchen.
    • Eggs: Hard boiled
    • Chorizo: Bulk Mexican Chorizo.
    • Cumin
    • Dijon Mustard
    • Fresh Cilantro

    Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions

    • Chorizo: Turn these Mexican deviled eggs into Spanish deviled eggs by substituting Spanish Chorizo for Mexican Chorizo.
    • Vinegar: If you don’t have Sherry Vinegar, use Red Wine Vinegar or even Apple Cider Vinegar.
    • Dijon: If you’re out of Dijon mustard, you can substitute plain yellow mustard. The flavor Just won’t be as sharp and complex as using Dijon.

    Step By Step: How to Make Mexican Deviled Eggs

    Step 5

    Step 5: Using a fork, fill the egg whites with the Mexican Deviled Egg Mixture.

    I served these Mexican Deviled Eggs with Sopa Caldosa that is so easy and delicious you’ll have a fit and I mean an  f-i-t.  A cabbage and chorizo soup that you really should give a try.

    Author: Lea Ann Brown

    Ingredients

    • 1 dozen eggs hard-boiled
    • 4 ounces Mexican Chorizo sausage
    • 1 Tablespoon Cilantro finely chopped and a sprig for garnish
    • 1 dash cumin ground
    • 1/4 cup red bell pepper roasted and fine diced
    • 1 Tablespoon sherry vinegar
    • 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
    • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 2 Tablespoon cold water
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Hard boil eggs. Slice eggs lengthwise, remove yolks and place yolks in a medium bowl. Arrange egg white halves in your favorite Deviled Egg serving bowl.
    • To prepare filling, cook chorizo in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until crisp. Meanwhile add cilantro, red pepper, vinegar, mayo, mustard and water to yolks. Mash. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
    • Scoop filling into egg whites. Sprinkle with warm chorizo and cilantro.

    Notes

    Roasted Red Bell Pepper: No need to roast a bell pepper, just grab a jar of roasted red bell peppers at the store. They’ll either be packed in oil or water. Just pat them dry before chopping.
    To Pipe or Not To Pipe: I simply don’t like the idea of using a piping bag to fill the egg whites with the deviled egg mixture. Deviled eggs are rustic comfort food and should be served to look that way. The mixture for this recipe will be a little thick for a piping bag, and the end result won’t look like a commercially produced deviled egg. But rather a homemade, and homemade with love deviled egg.

      Love love love deviled eggs, but Jeff and the girls, not so much. This looks easy enough to make for one though, doesn’t it? I’ve never played recipe roulette, but I have played “make the husband pick”. I ask him to choose between a couple of recipes when I can’t decide what to make. I usually end up making the opposite of what he picks, but it still gets the job done 😉

      BTW Lea Ann, I think your blog is snowing. You may need to check your thermostat.

        LOL on two accounts: First of all, finally someone noticed my blog is snowing! Flurries are predicted through January 3, and the sun will shine once more. And I do the same thing…”Bob, what sounds good?….”this”? or “this”? And yup, I pick the opposite. This egg recipe is easy to make, I did end up adding a bit more mayo because I thought it was a little too vinegar-ie, so just adjust to your taste. Thanks Karen

      I often play recipe roulette with my cookbooks. I am the WORST at deciding what to cook. I want to make everything and as a result can decide on nothing. It’s a problem.

      It looks like you won with this recipe though. I like cilantro infinitely more than parsley…so glad you made the substitution.

      A few times when I actually use a cookbook, I’ve done the same, but did not stick to the rules of choosing the recipe I landed on 🙂

      LOVE chorizo and your choice of cilantro instead of parsley.

      can any one play with any cook book or do you need this one – I love the idea of this roulette – plus since I never use recipes this will force me to – the cumin sounds like it would be the extra special kick that these kicked up eggs would love.

        Anyone can play and you can play with any cookbook. I’ve even closed my eyes and walked over to the bookcase and blindly picked out a cookbook (pin the tail on the donkey style) and then turned it every which direction. So, I didn’t even know what cookbook I was holding, or what recipe would turn up. Thanks for stopping by!

      This sounds delicious – chorizo is so flavorful! I always add cumin to my deviled eggs – and this year I put little pieces of that delicious meat candy, bacon, on top. Wish I’d thought of chorizo – that would add a little more spice! Nice post, and I can’t wait for the promised soup fit! 😛
