Copycat Chipotle Guacamole Recipe
Description
The recipe features mashed avocados as the base, yielding a creamy yet slightly chunky texture when mixed with finely chopped red onion and jalapeño peppers with seeds removed for milder heat. Fresh lime juice adds acidity and brightness, while cilantro contributes herbal notes. Salt is used to enhance all flavors. Adjustments of lime juice and salt allow balance according to taste. Jalapeño seeds may be kept or removed to control spiciness.
This guacamole is commonly served fresh to maintain its color and freshness, making it ideal as a dip or topping for Mexican-style dishes. While optional, ingredients like diced tomatoes or garlic may be added for variation but are not part of this version.
The guacamole is suitable for keto and gluten-free diets due to its whole-food ingredients.
