Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 hard-boiled eggs, cooled
• 1 large avocado, mashed
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion (or green onion)
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño, deseeded
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (plus extra for garnish)
• 3 teaspoons lime juice (add more for extra tang)
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• Black pepper, to taste
• Chili powder, for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the eggs.
Place your hard-boiled eggs on a cutting board and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks and transfer them to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly and smooth.

2. Mash the avocado.
Cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash until creamy, then add it to the mashed egg yolks.

3. Combine your ingredients.
Add the chopped red onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, garlic salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the flavor with a touch more lime juice or garlic salt if desired.

4. Fill the eggs.
Spoon the guacamole filling into each egg white half, or use a piping bag for a more decorative look. Make sure each egg has a generous amount of filling.

5. Garnish and chill.
Top each egg with a sprinkle of chili powder and a small piece of cilantro. For a festive holiday touch, add a small slice of tomato or jalapeño on top to highlight the Christmas colors. Refrigerate the eggs for 10 to 15 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Pro Tips

1. Make-ahead prep: You can boil your eggs and chop your veggies the day before. Keep them stored separately in the fridge to save time on the day of serving.
2. Prevent browning: The lime juice helps keep the avocado bright, but for extra protection, press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling if you’re preparing them in advance.
3. Customize the heat: Prefer mild? Use less jalapeño or swap it for a small amount of green bell pepper. Want more kick? Keep a few jalapeño seeds in the mix.

Storage Tips

These deviled eggs are best served the day they’re made, as avocado tends to brown when exposed to air. If you need to make them ahead, follow these steps:

• Store the egg whites and filling separately in airtight containers.
• Cover the filling tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface to prevent air contact.
• When ready to serve, fill the eggs and garnish just before presentation.

If you do have leftovers, store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Avoid freezing, as the texture will change once thawed.
