A simple, yet zesty homemade chipotle guacamole infused with fresh lime juice, a variety of spices, rich avocados, ripe tomatoes, and crunchy white onions.
Just because the big game has ended doesn’t mean we have to stop eating delicious snacks. Kim and I were going over some of our older recipes and noticed our guacamole needed a little updating. Starting with the name, we changed it from easy homemade guacamole to chipotle guacamole.
Since we use chipotle powder in the dip, we figured why not let that be the highlighted ingredient. Kim also updated all the pictures and I have rewritten the post. Now, enough exposition, time to get started on the chipotle guacamole!
Instructions:
- First, gather all your ingredients and grab cutting board and knife.
- Next, dice your onions and tomatoes and set them aside. Make sure you use a spoon to remove the seeds and insides of the tomatoes while dicing them.
- Then juice your lime into a different bowl and set it aside. In a pinch, you can use store-bought refrigerated lime juice from a bottle.
- Now, in a large mixing bowl combine the avocados, lime juice, cumin, chipotle powder, black pepper, turmeric, cayenne powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt.
- After that, using a potato masher, smash all those ingredients together until the guacamole is smooth and creamy.
- Last, fold in the onions and tomatoes. That’s it, you have created homemade guacamole.
- Serve the dip with tortilla chips or carrot sticks and enjoy. It can be stored in a sealed container for about 2 days in your refrigerator.
Tips for Your Chipotle Guacamole:
- Save the avocado pits and place them into the guacamole when storing it in your fridge. It will help the dip stay green and not turn brown.
- For a creamy, tart kick, try adding 2-tablespoons of sour cream to the guacamole.
- Another great guacamole dip shortcut is to mash the avocados with salt and pepper and fold in 1/4-cup of jarred salsa.

Thank you, Sophie! I just can’t eat the store bought dips anymore. The best part is, once you have the base spices, you can adjust them to create a flavor profile that like the most 🙂
It really does look easy. My family would love this and your recipe is easy to follow. Looks delicious
Thank you, Kathy! It’s pretty simple, just throw it together and mash it up lol!
Mmm I love a good homemade guacamole! It’s always so much better than anything you can buy in stores, never tried to make it with chipotle powder or turmeric though!
Thank you, Tine! The chipotle powder is more so about preference. You can use Chili powder if you like that flavor better. The turmeric is kind of optional. Due to some medical conditions, which I won’t get into here, my Rheumatologist recommends turmeric in everything. It is supposed to help with inflammation. Not sure if that’s true, but hey, she’s the doctor lol!
That looks good! I’m sharing this to my husband, I’m sure he’ll be delighted!

Thank you, Alexa!
I love guacamole, and your recipe sounds delicious! I have never put spices in mine. I usually add serrano or jalapeno pepper, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and sometimes a little salsa. I will have to try it!
Thank you, Willow! I need to try your recipe as well. It sounds really good 🙂
I tried to make quac a few weeks ago but didn’t have instructions because my sister just kept telling me what to put in, not how much. Excited to try it right though! 🙂
Thank you, Sarah! The best part about knowing exactly what to put in is that you can adjust the spices according to your preferences.
