Chipotle Guacamole Recipe - Cooked by a Former Chipotle Employee!

I wanted to make an easy, how to video on making a recipe so similar to Chipotle's guacamole you won’t be able to tell the difference. I also give cutting tips for dicing cilantro, jalapenos, and red onions. This is one of my favorite things to make! I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
Four Avocados
2 Tablespoons Cilantro
1/4 Cup Red Onion
1 Tablespoon Jalapeno
1 Lime
1/2 Lemon

Idk why im watching this when i work at chipotle

[@benperlmutter5190]

same lol

[@CookingwithChris1]

😂

[@confoley434]

Not very precise measurements, do chipotle allow staff to make up their own amounts as they wish?

[@CookingwithChris1]

Actually its very precise. Also, as a cook, its encouraged to taste your food. If it lacks salt, add salt, lacks acidity, add more citrus.

Thank you for doing the Lord's Work, Saint @AttackFalcon.

One of my fav guac recipes👍❤

thanks for sharing this info! right on!

[@msalohakitty]

I never knew what to look for when picking out avocados so thank you for that 😊

[@CookingwithChris1]

You're so welcome!

[@antoinettemulenga]

Omg thankkk youuu, I’ve been craving this like crazy😭😭😭😌

[@CookingwithChris1]

No prob

[@frank_d521]

thanks for the help my family loves it

[@CookingwithChris1]

Awesome! Keep making it hahha

[@frank_d521]

thank

[@PoeLemic]

Chris, you are a Saint for sharing these recipes. I'm a Teacher, and the Head Hanchos over at Chipotle just wanna get rich and charge outrageous for their food. THey just don't understand how $12 dollar burritos just are way too expensive for the middle class. Because you've got to get double meat, and now, they sure make small portions. So, I'd rather go without than pay their prices.

[@lilpoohbear653]

there prices are outrageous...I do like the food but aint paying that!

[@PoeLemic]

@@lilpoohbear653 Well, @LilPooh, it's damned even worse now. On 5-17-2024, I just found out that they are gonna start charging $1.99 for the Vinaigrette sauce.

[@nikka3224]

Yum

[@diabloakland]

Also i find that peeling the onion first then rinsing it in cold water helps with the onion tears

[@lexijones8414]

Very helpful

[@utoobguy3041]

i have that same knife, its a pretty dang good knife

[@lilpoohbear653]

Yum...I could eat that whole bowl with a spoon...nothin else:) Thanks Christ

[@rld1278]

I use my square holed potato masher for avocados and boiled eggs, things like that. Works better for me than the fork. Looks good tho, love chipotle!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Awesome tip!

[@sense27]

Great videos! Can you do the red hot salsa recipe?

[@rippinlips86]

This was great. Could you demo how to make Chipotle’s hot sauce they use? Not the mild but the darker red version they offer. Thanks!!

[@NickvanaOfficial]

Unfortunately this one comes premade in a bag, but I’m sure they have the ingredient list online!

[@TouchHerICutU]

you mean the smoked tobasco? you can buy those in supermarkets

[@alainberrouet7854]

Hey Chris great video. If I wanted to make a bigger batch would you suggest I double up on the ingredients?

[@CookingwithChris1]

Yes!

[@Dave-nz5jf]

Literally the only video I've ever seen where chopping jalapenos didn't come with the warning "when chopping jalapenos don't include the seeds, cause that's where most of the heat is". I suspect I've heard that over 100 times before.

[@CookingwithChris1]

Chipotle includes the seeds in the guacamole, salsas, etc.

[@shawnmh91]

Yes please 🙏

[@diabloakland]

Chris thank you for these lol also for tortillas should i just use a pan? I usually just heat my tortillas in a pan with no oil to get them soft but should i use a plate to put over it? Or a lid? I like how steamed the tortillas get

[@CookingwithChris1]

You can, I personally microwave them for about 30 seconds. This steams them up a little!

[@PoeLemic]

@@CookingwithChris1 ​ @CookingwithChris Can I suggest, Saint Chris, to make separate videos to show how to do this? I have same questions as everyone else, but you can't figure it out -- unless you read a jillion comments. Make a video like "How to make soft tortillas" and show which ones to buy at the store, etc.

[@unclemo5536]

Your recipe videos are great! Do you know what type of sour cream they use or how they get it to the consistency it is?

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thank you!! Normal sour cream, but whip it with a whisk until it is a pancake batter consistency.

[@akiwifer]

Christopher Stafford I cannot wait to try this!!!

Any recipe for the chips? Are they just the tortillas fried?

Hi Chris, how long do you think this would last in the fridge, if at all?

[@CookingwithChris1]

Almost a week. Wrap it tight in siran wrap

[@Jasmineg66]

I'm headed to the store like NOW

[@enagahashi]

Great tips for making guacamole. Do you have the recipe for making their Queso Blacno?

[@thedajahrene]

Hey could you do the fajitas veggies? Thanks in advance😍

[@PoeLemic]

Yes, I sure wish that Saint Chris would answer this question for us too. We tried to saute them, but they didn't turn out the same. I'd love to know how to do it exactly.

[@giaparmer]

Can you do the cilantro lime rice? I can never get mine right it always ends up starchy and unseasoned tasting :/

[@CookingwithChris1]

I’m editing it tonight 👍🏻

It’s posted!!

[@Dr-YouTube]

Pro tip: a sharper knife will reduce the onion gas given off.

[@bc1969214]

a fan blowing across the cutting surface will help also.

[@Alucard697]

Not cutting the root, produces no vapors also.

[@Toymonkeyjr]

not really true, a sharper knife would only be true in that statement if you cut it a smaller amount of times, but to stop the fumes you take the root out of it and you're fine.

[@EzeAsuoha]

Can u make the queso and chips

[@davidevans7143]

I add diced tomatoes to expand it.

[@readyplayerlv4070]

What white cheese does chipotle use for their bowl?! I need to know

[@LauraBethLove]

I think it's all Monterey Jack

[@noahhastings6145]

I literally just do avocados, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Put it all in a food processor and process until smooth. Perfection.

[@elizabethbonilla2178]

Please do chipotle steak 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Make a corn salsa video

How about the vinaigrette?

Can you make sofritas???

Si

The onion made you cry, but the jalapeño didn’t? Lol

[@CookingwithChris1]

Hahaha surprisingly no!

[@ryanscharf3353]

lol we didn't guess it you told us!

[@confoley434]

The ingredients are not very precise, do chipotle allow staff to decide on their own amounts?

[@Pullitsurprize]

No tomatoes?

[@CookingwithChris1]

None

[@toddinthemiddle]

$2.65 to add guac at chipotle... ridiculous!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Right!

[@shamoblamo9625]

It's 6 bucks now

[@zojirushi1]

Does chipotle buy their chips or do they make them? If it’s the latter show us how 👀

[@CookingwithChris1]

They fry them every shift! Twice a day! I can do one later on it. It’s really simple.

How about you make your own channel and cut up your own cilantro. And you can go back to living your sad life also! Have a great day there, sunshine!

@@majorpita1292 oh no, my pride!!!! 🤣 if my comment was something that was hurtful or demeaning in anyway, I could understand someone speaking up. The fact that you HAD to comment on what was simply an opinion (from a year ago, no less) is probably because you were brought up having your opinions suppressed and get the need to extend that trauma to others, anonymously, on the internet. Sorry you went through those traumas that made you a control freak and forces you to (poorly, I might add) try to make someone else feel like they’d done something wrong. The south is bad for your health. So is shitty parenting. Enjoy your ignorance, Lady. I hope you get better.

Way too much salt DO NOT ADD THIS MUCH

[@CookingwithChris1]

Did you use table salt? If you just use kosher it should be completely fine.

[@majorpita1292]

You need to learn about the different types of salt. Kosher salt and Himalayan salt is not as strong as table salt. Read about kosher salt and will explain everything. Have a great day.
