How to Make Mexican Egg Salad

  1. Hard-boil 6 large eggs. Once cool, peel and chop them into small pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), and 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese.
  3. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or more to your desired consistency). Gently mix until everything is well combined.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add a squeeze of lime juice to taste.
  5. Serve the Mexican Egg Salad on a bed of crisp lettuce or tortilla chips. Garnish with extra cilantro and a sprinkle of cotija cheese, if desired.
  6. Makes 4 servings
