Step 1
Start by cutting the avocados in half and scooping all the flesh into a big bowl. Use a spoon or a potato masher to mash the avocado until it’s mostly smooth but still has a little texture. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mashed avocado to keep it bright and fresh. Chop up the cilantro and add it to the bowl along with one chipotle pepper and a bit of the adobo sauce—it adds a nice smoky kick. Season everything with salt and pepper, then give it a good mix. Stir in some finely chopped red onion and jalapeños for a bit of crunch and heat. Finally, gently fold in the diced tomato so it doesn’t get too mushy. Pop the guacamole in the fridge for a little while before serving, and garnish with the remaining chipotle pepper and a drizzle of adobo sauce for extra flavor.
Why you’ll love it
This guacamole has a smoky kick from chipotle peppers that makes it more exciting than the usual version. It’s creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of spicy, perfect for those who love bold flavors. Plus, it comes together quickly with fresh ingredients.
How to serve
Serve this dip with crunchy tortilla chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or as a topping for tacos and grilled meats. It also pairs well with warm pita bread or spread on sandwiches for an extra flavor boost.
Storage & leftovers
Store the guacamole in an airtight container and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Keep it refrigerated and try to consume within 1-2 days for the freshest taste.
