These chorizo deviled eggs have a smoky depth and spice that elevate them above the common deviled egg. I used Spanish chorizo but if you accidentally buy Mexican style chorizo instead, just make sure to cook the sausage thoroughly. I have sausage substitution section above about using either style of chorizo, along with other sausage suggestions if you'd like! The deviled eggs will taste slightly different with the Mexican sausage or other sausage but will still be delicious.

Instructions
Cut the hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the egg yolks and place in a bowl. Place all the egg whites onto a serving plate, cut side up.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, Aleppo pepper (or red pepper flakes), parsley, chives, salt and pepper in the bowl with the egg yolks. Mash and stir with a fork until a smooth paste forms.
Scoop filling into a freezer style resealable Ziploc bag. Squeeze all the air out, then seal the bag.
Snip the corner of the bag. Pipe the filling from the bag into the egg whites.
(f you find the Ziploc method too fussy, you can also just fill the egg whites using spoons.)
Cut the chorizo into 1/4-inch cubes. Fry the chorizo in a small pan, until it releases oil. If you are using Mexican style chorizo, fry until the chorizo is completely brown. Sprinkle the chorizo over the deviled eggs, drizzling a little bit of the oil over each egg.
Sprinkle extra salt and pepper over the eggs to taste.
