This Chipotle Guacamole recipe is the real deal. With just seven ingredients and a few minutes, you can enjoy as much Chipotle Guacamole at home as you can mash!

Guacamole is luscious, creamy, satisfying, filling, and gloriously “a healthy fat.” And when it comes to restaurant guacamole, Chipotle’s version is my numero uno choice.

Luckily, nothing could be easier to make. And when you do it at home, there isn’t an upcharge in sight.

If you’ve got some ripe avocados sitting around, it doesn’t matter what time of day it is– it’s time for guacamole.

FAQ

What is Chipotle’s guacamole made of?

Unlike fake versions which have included add-ins like garlic or tomatoes, Chipotle’s guac uses just six ingredients: avocados, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño and kosher salt.

How does Chipotle guac not turn brown?

Each panned guac gets sealed airtight with Saran Wrap,” he said. “Then it gets lidded, labeled and stored for later use. This process ensures freshness and prevents browning,” he continued.

Why does Chipotle guac turn brown?

Because avocados oxidize when they’re cut, they’ll turn brown after being exposed to the air for a while. Some think a thin layer of olive oil on top of the cut avocado or leaving the pit in the bowl with your dip can stave off the color-changing process, but that won’t cut it.

Does Chipotle make their guacamole fresh?

“Well, it starts with sourcing the best whole ingredients possible, and ends with a quick mash in our restaurant.” An employee slices avocados to be made into fresh guacamole at a Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.
