A tasty Mexican deviled eggs recipe in celebration of National Deviled Egg Day!
Did you even know National Deviled Egg Day was a thing? I had no clue. Sometimes I feel like deviled eggs should be a guilty pleasure, with how many people despise them. And sometimes the looks I get when I say I love them. Oh right, and also because they’re filled with mayo. But you know what? I don’t care. I’ll stop hiding my love for deviled eggs starting today. Like right now.
I used to always cook up classic deviled eggs with my grandmother for every family holiday. They were such a fun little snack to make together. It’s a silly little tradition I’ve always loved, yet now I only occasionally make them at home. And by occasionally, I mean maybe twice a year. So..that means today really is a special day! It only comes around every 6 months. I still expect deviled eggs to be waiting for me when I arrive at any family party, but now I think I’ll be the one bringing them along! Hopefully everyone enjoys these Mexican deviled eggs as much as I do, because that’s what they’ll be getting!
