🛒 Ingredients for Tajín Deviled Eggs

• Whole eggs: I typically use large or extra large eggs
• Mayonnaise: Gives you that creamy richness, classic and satisfying
• Tajín Clásico Seasoning: Bold, tangy, and makes these eggs taste so good
• Fresh cilantro, chopped: Bright and leafy, adds color and flavor on top
• Dijon mustard: Adds a little edge, just enough to make the flavor pop
• Lime juice: The acidity balances the creaminess perfectly
• Salt: Essential for flavor, especially with eggs

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

🥣 Recommended Tools

• Saucepan
• Mixing bowls
• Hand mixer
• Piping bag with tip

🔪 How to Make Deviled Eggs with Tajín

Heat a saucepan with water on high and once boiling, carefully add in the eggs.  Boil for exactly 12 minutes. If your eggs are on the smaller side, you can remove them after about 11 minutes.

Drain and add the eggs to a bowl of ice water, then allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Peel and slice each egg in half.

Pop out the yolks, add them to a mixing bowl, then break them up using a fork.

In that same bowl, add in the mayonnaise, salt, lime juice and dijon mustard.

Mix using a hand mixer.  If you don’t have a hand mixer, you can mix with a fork.

You can transfer the filling to a piping bag with the tip of your choice and pipe into the egg white halves. 

If you don’t have a piping bag or tip, you can use a food storage bag and snip off the end to make filling the eggs easier.

Sprinkle the Tajín seasoning and chopped cilantro over the tops and chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

💡 Tips

• Room temperature eggs cook more evenly and are less likely to crack.
• A splash of vinegar in the boiling water can help keep cracked eggs from leaking.
• Peel under running cold water if the shells are stubborn. It helps lift them clean.
• If the filling gets runny, mix in a spoonful of extra mashed yolk until thickened.
• Wipe the tops of the egg whites before filling to help the yolk mix stick cleanly.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftover eggs in a Deviled Eggs Storage Container (pictured above) in the fridge for up to several days. I do not recommend freezing leftovers.

🍴 What to Serve with Tajin Deviled Eggs

You can serve them other tasty appetizers or just about any pork, chicken or beef entree. Here are some great ideas:

• Salisbury Steak
• Pork Chops with Bacon Mushroom Gravy
• Slow Cooker Turkey Breast
• Orange Glazed Salmon
• Lemon Chicken
• Keto Meatloaf
• Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Smoked paprika: Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a little smoky kick.

• Onion: Finely diced red onion or scallion can add a little crunch.

• Yogurt: Swap mayo for Greek yogurt to make it a touch tangier.

• Heat: A tiny dash of hot sauce in the yolk mix plays well with the Tajín.  Add sliced jalapeños on top for a spicy garnish.

• Dill: Fresh dill instead of cilantro adds an herby and cool twist.

• Lemon-pepper: If you’re out of Tajín, try a little lemon pepper. It’s not the same, but still tasty.

Why is My Filling Lumpy?

Mix yolks thoroughly before adding the rest of the ingredients, and use a fork or mixer while the yolks are still warm for best texture.

Can I Make These Eggs Ahead of Time?

Yes. Store the egg whites and filling separately, then pipe and garnish right before serving for freshest results.

What if I Don’t Have Tajín Seasoning?

You can make a quick substitute with chili powder, salt, lime zest, and a pinch of sweetener. It’s not identical, but close enough to give you the same vibe.

What’s The Best Way to Transport Deviled Eggs?

Use a deviled egg storage container with a lid or line a container with lettuce or parchment to keep eggs from sliding.  

Is it Okay To Freeze Deviled Eggs?

Nope. Egg whites become rubbery when frozen. Stick to fridge storage and eat within a few days for best texture and flavor.
