Brian and I have come to love Chipotle's guacamole. I have never liked guacamole before however felt like I should broaden my palate and pretend to like it. What started off as pretending and tricking myself into liking it little by little by eating it has become something I now crave. Seeing how our obsession with the guacamole has grown and grown we decided to scout out a knock off recipe. We really hit it on the nail with this recipe!

Individual sized recipe:2 Hass Avocados
1/2 of a Jalapeno pepper, seeded, and minced
1/4 of a red onion, finely chopped
2 heaping Tablespoons of Cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 of a lime, juiced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Combine all of the ingredients into a bowl and mash together until smooth. Add additional lime juice or salt to taste. For extra spicy guacamole, you can leave in the jalapeño seeds!
The ingredients - We doubled the recipe
We put our food processor to great use. We processed everything which saved so much time from having to finely chop everything except the avocado, lime, and lemon.
Scraping out the avocado's
Then it was manual labor time! We used our potato masher to mash everything together. It worked perfectly!
To get some of the big chunks of avocado mashed at the end we used a fork for good measure. It was able to specifically smash what the big potato masher couldn't get.
The finished product! It tastes exactly like Chipotle's and for the fraction of the price. We were able to store the leftovers in an air tight container. When avocado oxidizes it does turn slightly brown colored but don't worry, just mix it all up and it is green again and just as delicious to eat days later!
Due to me extreme lack of ability to consume spicy things, we definitely left the jalapeño seeds out much to my husbands dismay. Nonetheless it has become our new favorite dip!
