If you love the smoky flavor of chipotle peppers, also try our chipotle mayo and chipotle sea salt! This is a recipe that we’ve been making for years, and we still love it. It’s a great dish to take to a party, serve with a Mexican-inspired feast, or make for a quick lunch.
Avocados – we use three large, ripe avocados. Red onion – finely minced so that it blends well into the dip. Chipotle peppers – These come in a can packed with a deliciously smoky sauce called adobo sauce. Ground cumin – this spice adds a wonderful flavor to the guacamole that really compliments the smoky adobo sauce. Garlic – just a little and finely minced so that it blends into the sauce. Lime juice – fresh is always best! Salt – We like to use sea salt or kosher as the flavor is more mild than table salt. If you only have table salt, add half the amount and taste from there. Liquid smoke – this is an optional ingredient and really amps up the smoky flavor. Look for it around the BBQ sauce section in your grocery store or online.
That’s it! This really is a very simple recipe. The chipotle peppers come packed in smoky adobo sauce. To make this recipe, you’ll want to take out one of the peppers and chop it into very small pieces. Don’t worry about removing the seeds. Once the pepper is chopped, put it into a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon then fill it to the top with adobo sauce. This is enough to make guacamole that is mildly smoky and a little spicy. If you want more smoky flavor, simply add more chopped chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. Here are some more ideas about what to do with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce! Crunchy veggies are great for dipping, too. Our favorite veggies to dip in guacamole are cucumber slices, red pepper strips, carrot coins or sticks, and radishes.
