Notes
Commentary:
I love deviled eggs - always have. Particularly the classic with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar. This version is maybe slightly healthier with the avocado, but basically a variation on the classic deviled egg. It's a little spicy, but not too hot, and has an interesting flavor not drastically different from the traditional version.
I'd planned to make these for a get together, but ran out of time. So... I've now had these myself for about 4 meals. They are still good as leftovers, but they really taste best right after they're made. I'd planned to use green chiles in them, but went with the 505 Sweet 'N Spicy Salsa. It really adds a nice touch with some sweetness and the right amount of heat. Hope you like this one!
