Smoky Chipotle Guacamole Dip
Smoky Chipotle Guacamole Dip is easy to make and so delicious. It has a subtle smoky flavor and a little spice from the chipotle peppers. You'll love it!
Right now, I'm sitting in front of my laptop saying Smoky Chipotle Guacamole Dip out loud with my best attempt at a Mexican accent. You should try this. Seriously, you should. I think it's impossible to do without laughing!
I swear I could eat guacamole every day. A big pile of mashed up avocados and a few tortilla chips or some raw veggies is my idea of a perfect quick and healthy go-to lunch. Usually, I go for my classic guacamole recipe, but this smoky version is fantastic.
There are lots of recipes out there for guacamole but this one is by far my favorite. There's a little bit of heat and mild smoky flavor that is the perfect balance to the rich, creamy avocados.
I have to warn you, this is not a Chipotle restaurant copycat recipe. Or at least I don't think it is; I've never tried their guacamole. But it is absolutely delicious and I just know you're going to think so, too!
Why you'll love this chipotle guacamole dip
- Smoky chipotle peppers. Once you try this recipe, you'll wonder why you've never added them to your guacamole before.
- Ground cumin. This not so common guacamole ingredient totally kicks it up a notch.
- You'll get all the compliments on your amazing guacamole skills when you bring this to a party.
- With a big bowl in front of you, life will be all about eating amazing dip that just so happens to be healthy, too.
- Just as delicious served with crunchy raw veggies as it is with corn chips. (Ok ok, almost as delicious.)
What are chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Those funny little things you see up there are what you'll find when you open a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. You'll find small cans of them in the Mexican section of most grocery stores. You can also buy them on Amazon.
The chipotle peppers come packed in smoky adobo sauce. To make this recipe, you'll want to take out one of the peppers and chop it into very small pieces. Don't worry about removing the seeds. Once the pepper is chopped, put it into a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon then fill it to the top with adobo sauce. This is enough to make guacamole that is mildly smoky and a little spicy.
If you want more smoky flavor, simply add more chopped chipotle peppers and adobo sauce.

What to dip in guacamole
While tortilla chips are classic, they're not the only thing worth dipping. Crackers and pretzels are two other crispy options.
Crunchy veggies are great for dipping, too. My favorite veggies to dip in guacamole are cucumber slices, red pepper strips, carrot coins or sticks, and radishes.
And of course, this chipotle guacamole is delicious on top of tacos. Try it on these tacos:
- Best Carnitas Tacos
- Grilled Jerk Chicken Tacos
- Beer Battered Fish Tacos
- Summer Veggie Grilled Steak Tacos

Great idea about adding chipotles to your guacamole! And it is rather fun to say chipotle guacamole š
Last time I was in Mexico I swear I lived off of guacamole for a week straight. Love the stuff!
Yep, I’m with you, I could eat guacamole (or just avocados) every day. Yesterday, I was out to lunch with family, and I ordered a chicken sandwich with avocado on it. Then I was all like “hey…you guys want to get some chips and guac as an appetizer?” Basically, how can I eat MORE avocado in this meal?
