"Deviled eggs are far too versatile to be limited to the same few seasonings every single time we make them. Mustard, mayonnaise, and maybe a pinch of paprika always go into the filling, no questions asked, no second-guessing. All the while, we have been unknowingly missing out on a long list of ingredients that will seriously upgrade your deviled eggs. For example, just a few sprinkles of the Mexican seasoning Tajín, and you'll forget those deviled eggs were ever so plain and ordinary."
"Tajín seasoning is deeply embedded in the fabric of Mexican cuisine. Everything it touches, from marinated meat and fresh fruits to cocktails, is stitched in that signature spicy complexity. More of a flicker than a flame, the combination of ground dried chile peppers, dehydrated lime, and sea salt creates a subtle warmth that ignites the palate without fully setting it on fire."
Deviled eggs typically use mustard, mayonnaise, and paprika as the filling base. Tajín combines ground dried chile peppers, dehydrated lime, and sea salt to produce a subtle, tangy heat. A small amount of Tajín in the filling and as a garnish brightens the creamy base and adds spicy complexity without overwhelming heat. Coating egg whites in Tajín increases the spice intensity. Habanero and Tajín Twist varieties introduce hotter or sweeter nuances respectively. Sprinkling Tajín on deviled eggs and experimenting with complementary Mexican staples expands flavor possibilities and elevates an otherwise familiar appetizer.
