The Secret Ingredient (Chipotle): Smoky Chipotle Guacamole Recipe
The Secret Ingredient
Every month we highlight a different ingredient and share weekly recipes that showcase its uses.
There is a restaurant in Miami called Mercadito whose guacamoles I love. There are about seven, in all different flavors. But my favorite is the chipotle. The smoky vinegariness is the kind of stuff I dream about, cutting through that fatty avocado. This is my version—spicy, smoky, rich, and delicious. I usually pair it with hot black beans and stuff ungodly amounts of the stuff into warm corn tortillas. Extra cilantro never hurts.
