I'll be sticking to this guacamole recipe from now on.Rachel Askinasi/Insider
- I made the fan-favorite Chipotle guacamole using the restaurant's own recipe.
- Ingredients include avocado, red onion, lime, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt.
- Chipotle's executive chef Chad Brauze hosted an Instagram live in April teaching a virtual audience how to master the chain's beloved à la carte item.
- I was able to make guac that tasted like it just came out of the Chipotle kitchen by following the chef's tutorial.
While Chipotle undoubtedly has a die-hard fan base, the chain's guacamole has developed its own cult following over the years.
Back in April, the fast-casual restaurant shared a video to Instagram featuring executive chef Chad Brauze who walked viewers through the restaurant's simple guac recipe. Home cooks need six ingredients to achieve this top-selling side: avocado, red onion, lime, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt.
After I spent four days figuring out the best way to store a cut avocado, I decided to put the leftover green fruit to good use and try my hand at this recipe.
I followed Brauze's instructions to a T and ended up with guac that I'd say is worth paying extra for.
