Fresh lemon juice, avocado, and chipotle powder bring zesty flavor to this quick and easy egg salad that's great for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

8 large eggs
2 ripe avocados, mashed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon chipotle chili powder

Directions

1 Place eggs in a medium pot and cover with a few inches of water. Cover and place over high heat. Bring water to a full (but gentle) boil and cook, 10 to 12 minutes.
2 Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs. Transfer eggs to an ice bath and allow to chill for 10 minutes. Refrigerate eggs until ready to use.
3 Peel and roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs.
4 Add avocado to a mixing bowl with lemon juice, salt, and chipotle powder. Mash, leaving it slightly chunky if desired. Add chopped eggs and stir well to combine.
