Chipotle Spicy Guacamole Recipe

Chipotle’s Spicy Guacamole is a creamy blend of ripe avocados, diced jalapeños, cilantro, red onions, lime juice, and spices, offering a zesty and fiery twist on the classic dip.

If you’ve ever enjoyed a taco, burrito or chips from Chipotle Mexican Grill, chances are you’ve also enjoyed some of the chain’s signature spicy guacamole. PopSugar went into the kitchen with Chipotle to learn exactly how they make their legendary avocado dip.

Ingredients

• 6 large ripe Avocados peeled and pitted
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed Lemon and Lime Juice Mix
• 3 cups fresh Cilantro chopped
• 1 1/2 cups Red Onion finely chopped
• 12 large Serrano Chiles seeded and finely chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• Tortilla Chips for serving

Instructions

• Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the seed. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
• Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the seed with a spoon.
• Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin. Some people like to score the avocado with a knife before scooping. Make sure to gently scrap the skin to get the dark, creamy "good stuff."
• Place 2/3 to 3/4 of the softest avocados in a mixing bowl. Using a fork, roughly mash them with the citrus juice.
• Place the remaining firmest avocados on a cutting board or plate and chop into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces. Add these to the mashed avocado in the bowl.
• Add cilantro, chopped onion, serrano chilies and salt. Stir to combine.
• Serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
• Makes six to 10 servings.
