Guacamole Deviled Eggs - (AKA - light deviled eggs)

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

1. You know the drill, cut the eggs in half and empty yolks in a bowl
2. Combine yolks and guac in pleasing quantities, it's not rocket science folks.
3. Fold in any extra tomato, peppers, or cilantro that you want to add for texture and flavor
4. Season to your hearts content!
5. EAT :)

Chipotle Guac:

INGREDIENTS
2 ripe Hass avocados
2 tsp lime juice
2 tbsp cilantro (chopped)
1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
1/2 jalapeño, including seeds (finely chopped)
1/4 tsp kosher salt

HOW TO DO IT:
1. Choose the right avocado. It should feel squishy yet firm (like the palm of your hand), and be a nice dark green color on the inside.
2. Cut the avocado in half and the remove the pit (carefully!)
3. Scoop the avocados and place in a medium bowl.
4. Toss and coat with lime juice.
5. Add the salt and using a fork or potato masher, mash until a smooth consistency is achieved.
6. Fold in the remaining ingredients and mix well.
7. Taste the guacamole (over and over) and adjust seasoning if necessary.
