How to Make Avocado Guacamole Deviled Eggs
Step 1 Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Pop out the yolks into a bowl. Save the whites for later. Mash yolks with avocado until smooth.
Step 2 Add lime juice, tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno. Stir well to mix. The lime keeps the avocado green. (*Hard-learned tip: Use jarred jalapenos for less heat.*)
Step 3 Mix spices in a small bowl first. Stir them into the avocado mix. This spreads flavors evenly. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Step 4 Blend the mix briefly for creaminess. Pipe it into the egg whites. Garnish with paprika and cilantro. Chill for at least an hour. What’s your go-to deviled egg twist? Share below!

Keep It Fresh & Make It Ahead
These deviled eggs taste best chilled for 1 hour, but you can prep them 1 day ahead. Store them in a sealed container with plastic wrap pressed on the filling to avoid browning. *Fun fact: A splash of lime juice keeps avocados green longer!* Need to freeze? Skip the avocado—yolk mix alone freezes well for 2 weeks. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Why this matters: Fresh garnishes add crunch, so add them just before serving.
