This kicked-up sweet and spicy deviled egg recipe is overflowing with a tremendously flavorful taco seasoning, ground cumin, and candied jalapeño filling. Garnished with a generous sprinkling of sweet paprika and more finely chopped candied jalapeños, these deviled eggs are almost impossible to resist. A little bit of taco seasoning goes a long way when it comes to this recipe. These deviled eggs, without a doubt, will become a frequently requested deviled egg appetizer for every party or barbeque you attend. They’re so good, that you might want to just go ahead and make a double batch.

Important life lesson, always, always, always check the label on your spices before you add them to a recipe. Furthermore, always, always, always label your spices when you create your very own seasoning mix. Because, without a doubt, you will inevitably grab the wrong spice the one time you don’t bother to look at the dang label. I keep my Homemade Taco Seasoning in a small plastic container. And, when my friend, Susan, gifted me homemade roasted ground cumin, I put it in the same type of container. So, when I thought I was adding taco seasoning to these deviled eggs, I was unfortunately adding ground cumin. At first glance, I thought things looked weird, however, it took me a minute to fully realize the mistake. Thankfully, taco seasoning and cumin go quite well together. So much so that B.O.B. Bob declared this batch of eggs his new favorite. I guess sometimes mistakes are a good thing, but you can bet your bottom dollar, that I’ll be remembering to label my homemade spices from here on out.

Ingredients:

• 6 Extra-Large Hard-Boiled Eggs
• 2 Teaspoons Taco Seasoning
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 2 Tablespoons Candied Jalapeños, Finely Chopped (Additional for Garnish)
• 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise (Approximately)
• Sweet Paprika

Directions:

1. Halve the deviled eggs lengthwise, placing the yolks into a small bowl.
2. Mash the egg yolks with the tines of a fork.
3. Add the taco seasoning, ground cumin, and chopped candied jalapeños to the bowl. Add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise to the bowl. Stir well to combine. Add more mayo as needed until you get the perfect desired deviled egg consistency. For extra-large eggs, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise should work perfectly.
4. Spoon the filling into each egg well, or fill a resealable bag with the filling, snip off the end, and then pipe the mixture into the well of each egg.
5. Garnish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of paprika and additional finely chopped candied jalapeños.

Suggestions:

• I used Trader Joe’s Hot & Sweet Jalapeños for this recipe, however, you can also use these Candied Sliced Jalapeños.
• Place the candied jalapeños on a paper towel before chopping them to remove any excess liquid.
• I usually use extra-large eggs when making deviled eggs. If you are using smaller eggs, you may need to adjust the amount of mayonnaise used in this recipe, to prevent the filling from turning runny.
• If your filling does become too runny, try adding extra hard-boiled egg yolks. It’s never a bad idea to boil a few extra eggs when you’re making deviled eggs. If you mess up one or two eggs while peeling them, you’ll have a couple to use as replacements. And, if you’re filling is too runny, you can use the extra yolks to solve that dilemma.
• Try using this Homemade Taco Seasoning to make these deviled eggs.
• If you don’t plan on serving these deviled eggs right away, hold off on garnishing them with the paprika and additional finely chopped candied jalapeños until right before serving. If you garnish them too far in advance the candied jalapeños will make the eggs appear watery.

Improvements:

• Add finely chopped chives to the egg filling.
• Garnish each deviled egg with a little bit of crispy crumbled bacon.
• Top each deviled egg with a grilled shrimp.
