Chipotle's Guacamole Recipe


The exclusive guacamole recipe that Chipotle uses is finally out and about, courtesy of YumSugar! The recipe is pretty simple and looks just as easy as it looks delicious.

Although, I do have my doubts if it is as authentic as it claims to be. Why? Because of this little blurb that can be found on Chipotle's website.
As you can see above, the description for their guacamole includes "selected spices."

What exactly are the select spices?! I feel as if those spices would make or break the recipe. After all, in all honesty, the recipe otherwise seems to be reminiscent of many guacamole recipes out there.

Regardless, here is the recipe:

Ingredients
6 large ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1/4 cup citrus (lemon and lime) juice
3 cups fresh cilantro, chopped
1 1/2 cups red onion, finely chopped
12 large serrano chiles, seeded and finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Tortilla chips, for serving

Directions
  1. Using a fork, mash avocados with citrus juice in small bowl.
  2. Add cilantro, chopped onion, serrano chilies, and salt. Stir to combine. Serve with tortilla chips, if desired.

  1. This one (http://www.chipotlefan.com/index.php?id=guacamole_recipe) has been floating around for some time and I decided to make it a couple weeks ago. It was pretty darn close.

    I think mine had a little too much lime juice. (For chipotle it's less of an issue because they make it in huge batches where lime sizes are averaged out. I had one big lime.). I'd suggest adding some then tasting then adding more if necessary.
