Ingredients

• 1  dozen  hard-boiled large egg, peeled
• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
• 2  tablespoons  finely minced  pickled jalapeno peppers, drained

Directions

1. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Press the yolks through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, jalapenos, chipotle in adobo, Southwest Essence, and salt to taste. Stir to blend well. Spoon (or pipe with a pastry bag) the mixture into the egg whites. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle with the paprika just before serving. (If the paprika is added too early it will stain the eggs.)
