Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1½ teaspoons Tajín (plus extra for garnish)
  • Optional Add-Ins:
    • 1 chopped scallion or red onion
    • Fresh cilantro or parsley
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • Tortilla chips or bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Hard-Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 9-10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: Halve, pit, and dice the avocado. In a medium mixing bowl, mash a quarter of it for creaminess, leaving some chunks for texture.
  3. Make the Dressing: Add mayonnaise and Tajín to the mashed avocado. Stir until combined, adjusting Tajín to your taste.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Chop hard-boiled eggs and fold into the avocado mixture. Gently mix to keep some egg pieces intact. Add optional ingredients if desired.
  5. Serve: Garnish with extra Tajín and fresh herbs. Enjoy immediately or chill for 10 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Press plastic wrap directly onto the egg salad surface to prevent avocado browning. For a spicier version, add extra Tajín or chopped jalapeños. Perfect for sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or dipping with tortilla chips!
