El Pollo Loco Avocado Sauce

Recipe #167136 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Deja A
May 8, 2006

This recipe is a copy-cat of the wonderful avocado sauce served at El Pollo Loco restaurants. It is great with taquitos, chicken or shrimp quesadillas. Don't expect an extremely thick guacamole, this is a thinner salsa--the consistency of the sauce you usually get with taquitos. Also, the heat of fresh jalapenos varies greatly. If you like milder salsas, remove the seeds; if you like it hot, don't bother removing them.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine all ingredients in a blender & puree.
  2. 2
    Optional: For chunkier salsa, after pureeing, place in bowl.
  3. 3
    Mix in one diced avocado into pureed mixture.

    awesome. if you're worried about it being too watery, start out with 1/2 cup and then add more if you want. i ended up adding about 2/3 cup water and it is still pretty thick. thanks, this sauce is great!

    Made the chunkier version, used it as a topping for Tex-Mex Rice #100898, and decided to use less water, salt and vinegar. It was perfect, Deja A.
