It’s National Guacamole Day.

Are you celebrating? I certainly am…this might be one of my new favorite holidays.

Now that I know it exists. #thanksinstagram

Anyway, if you haven’t heard already, Chipotle has given out their “secret” guacamole recipe on their website.

Best gift ever, right? I die for their guac…and even though I have been making it at home for years (my friend Jen taught me the ways long ago), there is just something about Chipotle’s that makes me overpay for it every single time. #green-gold

Ingredients for Copycat Chipotle Guacamole

• 2–3 ripe Hass avocados – the riper, the better
• juice fromone lime – or more to taste
• fresh cilantro – you can omit if you aren’t a fan…or use extra if you love it (I love it)
• diced red onion – if you want to get rid of some of the bite
• jalapeño – you could also use serano pepper
• coarse kosher salt – super key ingredient for the best guacamole

The funny thing – after reading their recipe, I have NO idea what that something is. Because I’ve been making guac the exact same way as them: same ingredients and same amounts. Well, I don’t usually put my jalapeno seeds in.

Hmmm…maybe I should?

How to Make Easy Guacamole

It’s super easy to make your own guacamole at home! Just simply:

1. Mash your avocados. I actually use a potato masher to make mine…I’m pretty sure they aren’t this method at Chipotle, or anywhere else for that matter. But it works for us.
2. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Add everything else in, then stir to combine.
3. Taste and season.I love using a chip to for tasting instead of a spoon, because it gives you a good idea if you need more salt in your guac or not. If you aren’t eating your guac with chips, then you can just use a spoon!

It really couldn’t be easier to make at home or make to bring to a party. I constantly get asked for this recipe, by the way, so if you need a quick crowd pleasing appetizer, look no further.

It’s totally FIX approved, too, as long as you measure in the BLUE container. I actually love to make it ahead of time and use it on Taco salads. Here’s a trick to keeping it fresh – leave an avocado pit in the bowl and your guacamole won’t turn brown.

So cool, right?
