Mexican Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

12 hard-cooked eggs
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use the Taco cheese)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup salsa (HOT)
3 tablespoons sliced green onions
1 1/2 tablespoon sour cream

Salt to taste

Directions

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise; remove yolks and set whites aside. In a small bowl, mash yolks with cheese, mayonnaise, salsa, onions, sour cream and salt.
I use cupcake papers to serve the eggs in.  Makes it easy to grab and eat.
Stuff or pipe egg yolk mixture into egg whites. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

 

Margaritas


The main ingredients are:

Tequilla  (1 part) - Tripple Sec (1 part) - Gran Marnier (1/2 part)  (I substitute it with Gran Gala) and a good Margarita mix (3 to 4 parts).  I use my Bullet.  Put all the ingredients in the bullet, add the ice to the rim and blend until the ice is chopped.  Pour into glass and enjoy.
