Whether you’re scooping it with tortilla chips or adding it to your favorite burrito bowl, this recipe is the ultimate way to bring the taste of Chipotle to your kitchen.

Serves:  4

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe avocados

• 1 lime (juice)

• .25 Cups finely chopped red onion

• .5 Cups chopped fresh cilantro

• 1 medium tomato (seeds removed, diced)

• 1 jalapeño (seeds removed, finely chopped)

• 1 Teaspoons salt (or to taste)

• .25 Teaspoons garlic powder (optional)

• 2 Pinches Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocados:

Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.

2. Mash the Avocados:

Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky.

3. Add the Lime Juice:

Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mashed avocado, ensuring it’s well mixed to add tang and prevent browning.

4. Mix the Ingredients:

Add the chopped red onion, cilantro, tomato, and jalapeño to the avocado mixture. Stir gently to combine.

5. Season the Guacamole:

Sprinkle in the salt and garlic powder (if using). Add freshly ground black pepper to taste, and mix again until everything is well incorporated.

6. Taste and Adjust:

Taste your guacamole and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lime juice, or cilantro if needed.

7. Serve:

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite Mexican dish. If storing, cover the guacamole tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.

Tips:
For an extra kick, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or use two!
If you prefer a smoother guac, mash the ingredients more thoroughly or use a food processor.

To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, place the avocado pits in the guac or store it in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap touching the surface.

Enjoy this homemade version of Chipotle’s famous guacamole—it’s fresh, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion!
