Any self-respecting millennial is well aware that guacamole costs extra when you order it at Chipotle.

But now, the fast-casual Mexican restaurant is sharing the recipe behind its secret sauce. As it turns out, there's nothing fancy about Chipotle's guacamole recipe.

Chipotle's special recipe, which the company shared online, is a surprisingly straightforward take on the Mexican dip. All you need is ripe avocados, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, jalapeños and kosher salt. Just mash together and serve.

Normally, the company uses 48 (!!) avocados per batch, multiple times a day. But because 48 avocados might be just a bit excessive (not to mention obscenely expensive), Chipotle scaled the recipe down significantly to call for only two avocados.

OK, enterprising millennials: Get mashing and never pay extra for your guac again.
