Instructions

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocados to your preferred consistency—either smooth or chunky.
Add the Flavorings: Stir in the minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix everything until uniformly combined.
Season the Guacamole: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed to complement the smoky heat of the chipotle peppers.
Let it Rest: Allow the guacamole to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together, or alternatively, serve immediately.
Serve: Enjoy this smoky chipotle guacamole with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, burgers, or as a flavorful spread on sandwiches.

Notes

For a milder flavor, use only one chipotle pepper and remove its seeds before mincing.
Add diced tomato for extra texture or a small amount of sour cream for additional creaminess.
To prevent browning when storing, press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface and refrigerate. Consume within 2 days for best freshness.
