A creamy, smoky, and spicy chipotle guacamole recipe that balances smoky heat with fresh lime and cilantro, perfect for parties, taco nights, or a flavorful snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe avocados (about 600g or 1.3 lbs)
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 30ml)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • Optional dairy-free creamy twist: 1 spoonful silken tofu or a splash of olive oil
  • Optional summer addition: handful of diced fresh tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise around the pit. Twist to separate halves and carefully remove the pit by tapping it with a knife and twisting. Scoop out the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Mash the avocados using a fork or potato masher to your preferred texture, leaving some chunkiness for authentic guacamole. (2-3 minutes)
  3. Finely dice 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and add to the bowl. Be cautious not to get the sauce on your hands before washing them. (3 minutes)
  4. Mix in the finely diced red onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño if using. (2 minutes)
  5. Pour in the fresh lime juice, salt, and cumin. Stir everything together thoroughly. (1-2 minutes)
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more chipotle or jalapeño for heat or a splash of water or olive oil to loosen the texture if needed. (1 minute)
  7. Let the guacamole sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface if storing immediately to minimize browning. (Optional)

Notes

[‘Use perfectly ripe avocados for best texture and flavor.’, ‘Do not overmix to keep authentic chunky texture.’, ‘Fresh lime juice prevents browning and adds brightness.’, ‘Adjust chipotle and jalapeño amounts to control heat level.’, ‘Press plastic wrap directly on guacamole surface to minimize browning when storing.’, ‘Guacamole is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.’, ‘For smoother guacamole, use a food processor but mashing by hand is recommended for texture.’, ‘Optional add-ins include silken tofu or olive oil for creaminess, diced tomatoes for freshness, or smoky mezcal for a boozy twist.’]
