Tex Mex style Deviled eggs are perfect for brunch, breakfast, evening snack or a quick & easy party option.
I like to call these “CRAZY” deviled eggs. The bright colors (all natural dyes: post here) make them look like sort of crazy minions. I seriously don’t know why, you might thing that sounds so childish but telling you to me they sort of remind of those cutesy minions when they turn into crazy goofballs.
Since I tried my hands at these naturally colored eggs, My mind has been exploding with ideas. The first which was so obvious after you have tons of hard boiled eggs sitting is to make deviled eggs. I have never been a deviled eggs person but once Jerry made me try these, I was changed. But these new spicy deviled eggs with tex mex style filling and a little kick are totally my cup of tea now.
I mean they are almost healthy so there is no worries and with these colors they look almost too irresistible. If you have kids, these colored eggs are perfect to make with them and you can let them eat them without any worries of artificial colors and as for this filling, for kids you can just go the classic deviled egg route. For adults these jazzed up deviled eggs will steal your next show for sure.
Apart from boiling, start to finish they take 10-15 minutes max to make and are perfect for your upcoming Easter brunch. I was so impressed at how these turned out and I think you will love them too. On a little different note, how far are you in season 3 House of Cards?? I am half way and loving it but I must say season 1 & 2 were so much better than season 3, atleast I like to think that. Any other good shows or movies you have been into lately?
This reminds me that they are an awesome healthy snack for a movie night too!
