Chipotle Mexican Grill's guacamole is famously delicious, and much of its massive popularity comes from its simplicity. It doesn't rely on sour cream or fillers—just fresh, high-quality ingredients balanced to perfection. PhillyBite Magazine and WherePhilly are sharing the exact blueprint for this iconic, crave-worthy dip so you never have to pay extra for guac again.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe Hass avocados
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 jalapeño (including seeds for heat), finely diced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions:
- Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and kosher salt directly over the avocado to prevent browning.
- Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency (Chipotle's is smooth but with a few hearty chunks).
- Gently fold in the chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and jalapeño until evenly incorporated.
The beauty of this Chipotle recreation is its commitment to fresh, bright flavors that let the avocado shine. Whether you are building massive homemade burrito bowls, hosting a neighborhood taco night, or just craving a fresh dip for perfectly salted tortilla chips, this straightforward recipe proves that sometimes less really is more.
