The hunt for a Guacamole recipe started a few years ago when I became obsessed with how Chipotle made theirs so perfect each and every time.

Coli outbreak, you cannot deny their uncanny ability to serve what it quite possibly some of the best restaurant-grade guacamole we’ve ever seen.

So, we have researched and tested to come up with the best copy-cat Chipotle Guacamole Recipe.

Are Your Avocados “Guacamole Ready”?

The key to making perfect guacamole every-single-time is making sure that your avocados are ripe and ready. Many of you may already know the trick to finding the best avocados, but here’s a little reminder:

How to Tell if Avocados are Ready

If they are too brown or too green, the guacamole is a no-go! If the avocado is too green, the flavor is off and you won’t be able to mash them up to get the right consistency. If the avocado is too brown, you’ll open it up to see bruising and the avocado will have a sour taste. Hey, sometimes the gauc just isn’t in the books, but when it is… it’s always a major HIT!
