This Chipotle Guacamole recipe is the ultimate treat, allowing you to whip up a generous batch at home in just a few minutes with only six simple ingredients.
Guacamole holds a special place in my heart when it comes to Mexican cuisine—it’s rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying, not to mention a wonderful source of healthy fats.
Among all the restaurant options, Chipotle’s guacamole is my absolute favorite, and the best part is that making it is a breeze!
How does Chipotle make their guacamole?
This is exactly how Chipotle does it:
Halve a couple of avocados, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
Toss the avocado with lime juice and add salt. Mash. Then, add finely chopped cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño peppers. Add more salt if desired (I generally desire more salt), and mix it up.
And of course, devour it with tortilla chips!
Is Chipotle Guacamole vegan?
Yes it is! The six ingredients are: Hass avocados, lime juice, salt, red onion, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro. No animal products here!
How long is guacamole good for in the fridge?
Guacamole can last 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator provided you are willing to battle the effects of discoloration via oxidation.
The best ways to ward off the browning of guacamole is:
- Squeeze extra citrus juice over the top of the guacamole.
- Cover with plastic wrap and press the plastic directly on the surface of the guacamole in the bowl.
If all else fails, you can scoop off the brown layer of guacamole and enjoy the bright green happiness beneath!
