The Secret Is Out: Chipotle Shares Its Guacamole Recipe

Chipotle fans, rejoice! You can skip the line (and the extra charge) at the Toms River Chipotle and concoct the chain’s guac at home, as corporate has shared the recipe on its website.

What makes their guacamole so delicious? Now you know:

What You’ll Need

• 2 ripe Hass avocados (“In the restaurant, we use 48 per batch, multiple times per day”)
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp cilantro (chopped)
• 1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
• 1/2 jalapeño, including seeds (finely chopped)
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt

How You Do It

1. Choose the right avocado. It should feel squishy yet firm (like the palm of your hand), and be a nice dark green color on the inside.
2. Cut the avocado in half and the remove the pit (carefully!)
3. Scoop the avocados and place in a medium bowl.
4. Toss and coat with lime juice.
5. Add the salt and using a fork or potato masher, mash until a smooth consistency is achieved.
6. Fold in the remaining ingredients and mix well.
7. Taste the guacamole (over and over) and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Save the dough, get your meal to go, and pile on the extra guac to your heart’s content.

If you don’t feel like making it, you can always go to the Toms River Chipotle at 1258 Hooper Avenue.
