Ingredients Needed for Street Corn Deviled Eggs
Eggs – You’ll need six hard boiled eggs for this recipe. Add six eggs to a pot and cover them with water by one inch. Bring to a boil. Once they begin to boil, begin your timer. Cook for 8-10 minutes depending on size. Place in cold water once they are cooked through. Peel immediately once they are cool to touch.
Slice a small portion off the smaller (pointier) part of the egg. This is to balance the egg when it’s standing upright. The yolk tends to rest towards to bottom (thicker side) of the egg, so you’ll slice roughly ¼ of the egg off the thick side. Remove the yolk and add it to a mixing bowl. Remove the yolk and add it to a mixing bowl.
Tajin- Add about 2 teaspoons of tajin spice to a small plate. Dip the rim of the egg in the tajin spice until it’s lightly coated with the spice. Stand the eggs upright with the tajin rim facing upwards.
Avocado Yolk Mixture – Once all the yolks are in the bowl, add one medium-large avocado. Next, add the minced white onion, fresh squeezed lime juice, salt and black pepper. Combine until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add this mixture to a piping bag for easy squeezing.
Toppings – Top the eggs with charred corn kernels, thinly sliced jalapeno, and cotija cheese. Serve chilled and enjoy. Option to add a touch of cilantro if you desire.
