Chipotle Guacamole Dip Recipe
Because guacamole tends to go hand in hand with watching football, especially the championship games. It’s the perfect texture for dipping or as a topping for your favorite nachos.
How to Choose a Ripe Avocado
Choosing a ripe Avocado is key to a good guacamole dip. I have the best luck with Avocados from Mexico.
My method is simple and usually fail-proof. I choose a firm avocado with a little give. Then I pluck the stem button off and look at the color. If it’s bright green, it’s not ready. If it’s brown, it’s too ripe. If it’s right between, then it tends to be just right.
Here are more tips from the true professionals. They have a handy video along with these simple tips on their website.
- Observe the color of the avocado’s skin. Is it green? Dark green to nearly black? Dark green with black speckles? Ripe avocados will have a skin color that is dark green to nearly black.
- Feel the avocado. Is the skin smooth? Or is it bumpy? In addition to their dark green skin, ripe avocados will also have skin with a bumpy texture.
- Gently squeeze the avocado. Is the avocado firm? Does it yield to firm, gentle pressure? Does it feel mushy? Ripe avocados should yield to gentle pressure without leaving indentations or feeling mushy.
