One of the keys to making these spicy avocado deviled eggs Paleo friendly is the use of Avocado Mayo. It’s a healthier version that tastes like homemade mayonnaise, and not like the stuff you normally get on the shelf at the store. You can’t beat that.

One helpful hint. When boiling eggs, add a little white vinegar to the water. It helps to make peeling the eggs so much easier.
