What Is Chili’s House-Made Guacamole?
Fresh, chunky guacamole made in-house with ripe avocados, lime, and jalapeño simple and genuinely good. Chili’s makes it fresh daily; it’s not pre-portioned from a bag, not scooped from a tub, and not the neon-green smooth version that passes for guacamole at most fast-casual chains. The avocado is hand-mashed, which is why the texture is chunky rather than smooth, a detail that matters because the flavor of individual avocado pieces hits differently than a completely pureed dip.

Chili’s Guacamole Calories With and Without Chips
The full order with chips contains 1150 calories. Here’s the breakdown.
| Component | Calories |
|---|---|
| Guacamole dip (full order) | 580 |
| Corn tostada chips (full serving) | 570 |
| Total with chips | 1150 |
| Guacamole dip only (4oz) | 120l |
The most important number: the guacamole dip itself is only 120 calories per 4oz serving. The chips account for roughly half the total calorie count. If you’re watching calories, ask for the guacamole without chips. Most locations will serve it in a cup alongside any entree as a side component. This makes it one of the more calorie-efficient dips at Chili’s when ordered without chips.
Avocado is one of the most keto-friendly foods available with high fat, low net carbs. The guacamole dip itself (without chips) is essentially zero net carbs from the avocado, with minimal carbs from the tomato and onion. Ask for corn tostada chips to be replaced with celery sticks or eat it as a side with a protein entree; most locations accommodate this request.
