Start your Cinco de Mayo party off right with this delicious Popsugar recipe inspired by Chipotle’s famous guacamole! We love how simple and fresh this guacamole is—no fuss, all flavor!

Stain Removal:

  1. Scrape off as much as possible with a dull knife or spoon.
  2. Pretreat with a stain-fighting agent like our 4-in-1 Booster Pacs. Just place the pac directly on the stain and run cool water over it until it dissolves. Let the booster pac sit for 15-20 minutes while it does its magic!
  3. Rub to loosen the stain and rinse thoroughly.
  4. Launder as normal with a stain-fighting detergent to knock out any leftover residue.
