Spicy Guacamole Recipe
This chipotle guacamole is smokey, spicy, chunky and loaded with flavor. It’s everything you would want in a guacamole! If you like spicy foods then this guacamole dip is for you. Chipotles in adobo is my secret weapon for spicing up foods and adding a wonderful smokiness. If you haven’t tried it yet you’re missing out. I’ve used it in everything from soups, to Chicken Wings, to Stuffed Peppers! The chipotles add a smokey flavor to the guacamole as well as tons of heat. You can customize the spiciness to your likening. I typically start off with one chipotle pepper and add more if I want it spicier. This spicy guacamole is extremely easy to make. Simply combine avocado, chipotle peppers, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, tomatoes and lime juice in a medium bowl. Make sure not to mash up the avocado too much. I like those big chunks of avocado in my guacamole. If you’re going to make guacamole you have to make your own tortilla chips. They are so much better and worth the effort. Wash this chipotle guacamole down with my Mixed Berry Margarita or Mojito.
Guacamole Ingredients
Avocados: I like to look for dark green avocados that are really ripe and have a good amount of give when I touch them. This will ensure your guacamoles really creamy! Red Onion: Is a traditional ingredient in guacamole. If you are worried the red onion will be too strong simply soak in water for 15 minutes before using. Diced Tomato: Add a pop of color to the guacamole. Cilantro: I love adding fresh cilantro to my guacamole. If you are not a fan of cilantro simply omit. Lime juice: Keeps the guacamole from turing brown and gives the dip the perfect amount of acidity. Chipotles in adobo: Add the perfect amount of heat and smokiness to the guacamole. Optional Add In’s: Minced garlic, dried cumin, everything seasoning, greek yogurt (for a creamier guac).

How Do You Make Spicy Guacamole
Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix to combine making sure not to mash up all of the avocado if you want it chunky style. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite chips!
How to keep Guacamole fresh
The best way I have found to keep guacamole from turning brown is to squeeze either lemon or lime juice on top of the spicy guacamole than cover with plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic wrap is touching the top of the guacamole for best results. I have also read about the “water option” where you pour water on top of the guacamole then cover in plastic wrap. When you are ready to eat the guacamole drain the water then serve!
