Mexi Salsa Deviled Eggs

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

I have made these many times, they are so good! ---start with the amounts listed and add in more to suit taste. If you don't have a food processor you can use a hand mixer to mix the yolks. Plan ahead the prepared eggs must chill for at least 4 hours before serving to blend flavors. I boil 14 or 15 eggs as I like to have more yolk filling, but you can use just 12 eggs if desired. You will *love* these I promise!

2. Using a sharp knife slice the hard-boiled eggs in half.
3. Carefully remove the yolks from 14 eggs and place into a food processor (save the whites from 2 eggs or just eat them lol!).
4. Place the 24 egg whites halves on a plate or serving platter.

I scaled the recipe back to 4 eggs and really enjoyed it! I didn't have Miracle Whip so used mayo with a little vinegar and sugar. Yum! Thanks Kitten! Made for 123 Hit Wonders!

Really great recipe KITTENCAL, these are not your everyday boring devilled eggs, they have a definate flavor explosion the second they hit your taste buds, one of the better recipes I would say, these I will be making again! thank you.
