Chipotle's Guacamole Recipe
Chipotle's Guacamole Recipe is super popular for good reason! It has the best flavor and perfect creamy texture that’s loaded with avocado, red onion and fresh cilantro and spiced with just enough minced jalapeño. With this quick and easy appetizer recipe, you can make this super delicious dip anytime a craving hits.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe Hass avocados
- 1/2 jalapeño minced and seeded
- 1/4 red onion finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
- juice from 1/2 lime 2-3 teaspoons
- 1- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt or to taste (start with 1 teaspoon and add more as needed)
Instructions
- Choose the right avocado. It should feel squishy yet firm (like the palm of your hand), and be a nice dark green color on the inside.
- Cut the avocado in half (vertically) and remove the pit by stabbing carefully with your knife. Use a paper towel or dish towel (so the pit is not slippery in your hands) to remove the pit from the knife.
- Scoop the avocados out of peel and place on a plate or in a medium bowl.
- Use a fork or potato masher to mash until a smooth consistency is achieved. Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Take a taste or a few tastes and adjust seasoning as needed for yumminess!

Notes
Serve with pico de gallo for dipping or mix them together for a new dip!
Here are my top tips for keeping your guacamole fresh and green for up to about 3 days:
- Transfer leftover guacamole to an airtight container and smooth it down firmly with a spoon, so it’s flat.
- Add about 1/2 inch of cold water on top.
- Cover the container with a lid, and store it in the refrigerator.
- When you’re ready to enjoy the guacamole, drain the water off the top, give it a stir and dig in!
