This Chorizo Deviled Eggs recipe is one of my favorite appetizers to make. While this weekend was not a weekend for football, next weekend is the big game that people will be watching, so I thought I would share this recipe in case anyone was looking for a fun and easy appetizer idea.
I first had chorizo deviled eggs at a nearby restaurant in downtown Santa Ana. I am a big traditional deviled egg fan, and when I saw these on the menu, I had to try them. Once I tasted them, I loved the nod to chorizo and eggs in an appetizer and I knew I could easily recreate them at home. I was very happy with the result and the best part is that this recipe is not only easy, it is very quick to put together. I like to use a frosting bag and decorator tip to fill my deviled eggs, but you do not have to as they still taste great.
I like to start with a layer of beef chorizo.
And then add the egg yolk mixture.
The chorizo gives the eggs a nice flavor. I like to use beef chorizo, but you can also use pork chorizo.
Next weekend we will be in our new home and while all of my kitchen items may not be unpacked, I can still make these easily.

Your piping is so beautiful! Mine always look like a big mess.
True story – I was on a winery tour years ago in Napa and thought it would be nice to buy something from the gift shop, but I don’t drink. So I bought a whole recipe book about deviled eggs. Delightful!
Thanks so much! Ooooh! Oh nice! I love Napa gift shops!
