Smoky Guacamole Recipe
Description
This Smoky Guacamole Recipe uses ripe avocados mashed with finely minced red onion and garlic for a creamy base with mild sharpness. Ground cumin adds an earthy undertone, while lime juice brightens and balances the flavors. The distinctive smoky quality comes from chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce mixed in, imparting a smoky heat that defines the guacamole's character. For an additional smoky note without increasing heat, a few drops of liquid smoke can be added according to preference.
The guacamole can be served immediately as a dip for chips or vegetables, or used as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or grilled meats.
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are commercially available and contribute both heat and smokiness, while liquid smoke is sold near barbecue sauces for mild added smokiness.
Ingredients
- 3 avocado skin and seed removed, ripe
- 2 tablespoons red onion finely minced
- 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper in adobo sauce see notes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 small garlic very finely minced, clove
- lime juice from half lime
- liquid smoke see notes, optional, 3 drops
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a medium sized bowl.

Notes
- Use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce by chopping one pepper and measuring with enough adobo sauce to total 1 tablespoon for the recipe.
- For a spicier guacamole, add extra adobo sauce to increase heat and smoky flavor.
- Liquid smoke is optional and adds smokiness without additional heat; add about 3 drops if desired.
