Another way to step up your classic game
Okay so you won't find deviled eggs in any diet book... why? Because it's literally all mayonnaise.
For lighter deviled eggs, I use guacamole as my base (subbing out the mayo)... and it's AMAZING. You can use homemade guac or store bought 80-100 calorie packs. I've used both with great results.
Pro tip... Chipotle's guac recipe is at the bottom ;)
Ingredients
- Hard Boiled Eggs - save yourself the trouble and just buy them hardboiled, seriously $5 at Costco for 24 boiled eggs.
- Guac: Homemade, or 100- 80 calorie guacamole packs
- Cilantro, chopped - if your a cilantro fiend like me
- Touch of Garlic powder
- Touch of Onion powder
- Touch of celery salt
- Green Chili powder - optional
- Diced tomato and Cilantro garnish - optional
Directions
- You know the drill, cut the eggs in half and empty yolks in a bowl
- Combine yolks and guac in pleasing quantities, it's not rocket science folks.
- Fold in any extra tomato, peppers, or cilantro that you want to add for texture and flavor
- Season to your hearts content!
- EAT :)
