CHIPOTLE GUACAMOLE

– Avocado- This is the star of the show. If you want to be as authentic to the famous Chipotle guacamole as possible, use Hass avocados. – Red Onion- This adds a bit of bite and heat to the recipe. – Jalapeno- Most recipes tell you to seed your jalapenos, but for this flavor-packed dip you'll want to use the whole pepper--seeds and all. – Lime Juice- Adds some freshness and acidity to the guacamole and helps prevent browning. – Cilantro- If you're not a cilantro fan, you can substitute parsley, but it won't taste identical to the bite you get from the restaurant. – Salt- Just a pinch to bring out the natural delicious fresh flavors of the produce.

Make it smooth. Chipotle guacamole has a few larger chunks of avocado throughout, but if you're more of a smooth guac person, you can always toss your avocado into a food processor to get a creamy texture before folding in the rest of the chopped-up produce. Add some spice. Want to take the spice to another level? Double up the amount of jalapeno you use in the dish or add a sprinkle or two of dried red chili flakes. Twist up the texture. If you like a crunch in your bite that the red onion doesn't seem to satisfy, you can always add in corn or pumpkin seeds for a fun and unusual addition to your dip.
