Chipotle Guacamole Copycat Recipe
This Copycat Recipe For Chipotle Guacamole Might Be Better Than the Original (and It's Cheaper)
You can never go wrong with guacamole; it's the perfect snack or topping to any kind of dish imaginable. Tacos, burgers, quesadillas, nachos, burrito bowls, sandwiches, salad — they all taste better with a dollop of guac! It adds a punch of flavour and overall freshness to anything in sight and even ranks pretty high in nutrition when compared to other snacks or add-ons. (Although, I do still love my queso.)
Between the creamy texture and fresh flavours, I've always considered Chipotle's guacamole top tier. And in attempt to save a few extra bucks on the annoying (but necessary) up-charge, I recreated Chipotle's guac in my own kitchen. All you need are a few avocados, coriander, jalapeño chile, onion, lime, salt and pepper, and of course, tortilla chips.
To make the guac, just combine and mash all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and you'll have a tasty dip in a matter of minutes. It's literally that easy. And you can use it for multiple meals, which makes the few bucks you spent on ingredients go a long way. Personally, I like to dig into my guac with blue corn tortilla chips, but you do you!
