Recipe Ingredients
See the recipe card below for the complete list of ingredients with exact quantities.
Avocado: Chipotle uses Hass avocados, which are creamy, flavorful, and easy to mash.
Jalapeño: I used 1/2 of a small pepper for this recipe and kept some of the seeds. If you don't enjoy a lot of spice, you can use even less jalapeño and remove all of the seeds. If you want more spice, leave the seeds.

This recipe is essentially only one step: Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and enjoy immediately!
Recipe Tips
- Use ripe avocados. Press gently near the top. If the avocado has a slight give, it's ready - you don't want it to be too mushy. If it's too firm, let it ripen on the counter for a day or two. Avocados will also darken in color as they ripen.
- Mash to your texture preference. Chipotle's version is fairly smooth with a few small chunks, but you can leave it chunkier if you like!
- Always taste and adjust. Add more lime juice or kosher salt if needed because avocados can vary in size and richness.
- Storage: Guacamole is best enjoyed right away for peak flavor and color. If storing, transfer to an airtight container and squeeze a little extra lime or lemon juice over the surface to help prevent browning. You can also try covering with a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface before covering to prevent browning. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
