Super Food - Day 3

Today's recipe is actually one of my husband's we call it the Devil's Balls or Heuevos Diablo. These spicy deviled eggs are a great game time snack and really pack a punch.

12 eggs
4 tablespoons of mayo
2 serrano peppers, deseeded and diced
4 tablespoons of hot sauce, like tapatio
1 tablespoon of pico de gallo seasoning (available at most international stores)

Place eggs in a pot and fill it halfway with the water. Bring the water to a boil on high heat, and then turn the stove off right away. Set the timer for 11 minutes. Use the slotted spoon to scoop the eggs out of the hot water and a mixing bowl. Run cool water over them until they're comfortable to handle. Roll each egg on the cutting board to crack the shell, and peel the shells off. Make sure you clear all the little pieces of eggshell out of your work area, so they don't accidentally end up in the food. Dump the water out of the mixing bowl. Cut each egg in half lengthwise, and then scoop the yolks into the mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside. Now add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, seasoning, and serranos to the yokes. Mash and stir with the fork until you have a fluffy mixture. Then add salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the filling back into the egg whites. Sprinkle paprika or more Pico De Gallo seasoning on the deviled eggs if you like the way it looks.

Lawry's Taco Seasoning/ Huge Taco Salad

I have a problem in Virginia, no store that I have been to sells Lawry's Taco Seasoning. I have had to have friends visiting import this item for me, I am almost out and now I am going to just order some online, but really Virginia retailers, what is wrong with you? This is the best Taco Seasoning packet going, it is great on ground beef, chicken, ground turkey, and can be played with and used as a marinade. I beg all VA retailers to start carrying this product. Please forgive my rant over the lack of this product in Virginia; it just gets frustrating when you cannot get your hands on the right ingredients.

Anyway, I bought some great ground beef and needed to use it so I was thinking about all the things that I make with ground beef and decided I really felt like taco meat. I had three packets of Lawry’s left so I did not think my husband would get upset with me for making tacos without him. I used my packet and followed the directions on the back, from there the sky is the limit with what you can do with taco meat. Tacos, nachos with ground beef, burritos, salads, a favorite in my family is a mix up bowl, where cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo are mixed together with the meat and scooped up with tortilla chips. I was feeling like I had not been getting enough vegetables in my diet so I pulled together this monster salad. It feature a chopped heart of romaine lettuce, ½ an avocado chopped, 1 ounce of shredded Colby jack, 2 tablespoons of pico de gallo, 3 tortilla chips that have been crushed, and about 2-3 ounces of taco meat. For a dressing I mixed 1 tablespoon of sour creams with a teaspoon of Tapatio hot sauce. I ate a little over half of this and was more than full.
