How To Make Chipotle Guacamole At Home
All you need is a few minutes of prep before putting it all together.
- Chop the jalapeno, red onion, and cilantro and transfer to a bowl.
- Add the avocado, citrus juices, and salt.
- Mash it all together with a fork.
It’s really that simple! Scale the amounts up or down depending on how much you need, then cover homemade Chipotle guac in plastic until you’re ready to serve.
Guacamole Recipe Chipotle Tips and Tricks
- Wear gloves. It’s a good idea to protect your hands when handling jalapeños.
The oils can cause irritations when transferred to the eyes and nose, and it’s easy to miss spots when washing with soap and water.
- Prevent browning. Wrap the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and press it down so it touches the Chipotle guacamole itself.
You can also cover the dip with a layer of water first. Just pour it off and give everything a quick stir before serving.
- Adjust the heat. I think the creaminess of the avocado balances out one jalapeño nicely. If you think it’s too much, only use half of the pepper or leave it out entirely.
Serving Suggestions
Obviously, you can’t go wrong with a bowl of tortilla chips for dipping. This Chipotle guacamole recipe also tastes great with taquitos, shrimp, and veggie sticks.
Spoon some onto tacos and burritos or spread it on your favorite sandwiches. You can even put it on your burgers!
Chipotle Guac Recipe FAQ
How long does Chipotle guacamole last in the fridge?
With the proper protection, homemade Chipotle guac should stay fresh for 3 to 4 days. A little bit of browning is safe to eat, but I would recommend making a new batch if the entire container has turned.
While not in the original guacamole recipe from Chipotle, the addition of lemon juice helps prevent browning a little bit longer.
What else can I add to this Chipotle guac recipe?
Feel free to get creative depending on your texture and flavor preferences. Chopped tomatoes and bell peppers are popular additions, just be sure to remove all of the seeds before mixing them in.
If you want to include some extra seasoning in this Chipotle guacamole recipe, try some garlic powder or a little cayenne pepper for added heat.
Enjoy!
