Everyone loves deviled eggs as one-bite salads before Sunday lunch, but let’s enjoy them after-hours too. This hipper, spicier version of its no-frills cousin has a Tex-Mex touch for a bit of mischief (I enjoyed similar eggs at barbecues when I lived in Austin). The smokiness derives from the chipotle chiles—brick-colored dried jalapeños—that give punch to the thick and vinegary adobo sauce.
