Chipotle deviled eggs are just so good. We like a spicy deviled egg over at our house! Bruce added a bit of chipotle to our deviled eggs a few years ago, and ever since then, they have been a favorite. These chipotle deviled eggs have a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. You can adjust the amount of spice to your liking. This seasoning can be added as canned chipotles in adobo sauce, or by using chipotle spice.
Oh, and the way we get perfectly peeled hard-boiled eggs is the method we found at PETE AND GERRYS!

Chipotle are small peppers that have been dried by a smoking process. This gives them a dark color, and a distinct smoky flavor. A very common way to find them is the canned variety. The smoky peppers are canned in a red sauce that has a fabulous smoky flavor as well. The make the best spicy deviled eggs!
