Copycat El Pollo Loco Avocado Salsa
This recipe for El Pollo Loco Avocado salsa is one of the easiest recipes I have ever made. You simply wash and cut vegetables in half and throw them in your food processor. Avocado, jalapeno and cilantro are the responsible for the flavors in this vegan salsa and because everything will become a puree I don’t really bother to chop into small pieces.
There are also different levels of spice to choose for the salsa and it’s easy. I like it not so spicy, so I take away the seeds and pretty much all of the veins. This is because most of the spicy taste comes from jalapeno.
Add cilantro if you want to add to the freshness. What if you don’t like cilantro? Add parsley instead to keep it fresh.
This El Pollo Loco Avocado Salsa is perfect for the avocados that don’t look so good, as I’ve said before. The ones you open and make that face a bit because they are changing color into brown and make them not really appetizing.
Well as I’ve said before, there is no reason to worry, those avocados are indeed perfect for this vegan salsa!
