El Pollo Loco Avocado Salsa

This creamy green sauce is available at the salsa bar at each of the El Pollo Loco outlets located throughout the western United States, and folks go crazy over it. The problem is, you can only get it in small quantities at the restaurant, and once you taste a little there you are going to want a lot more of it at home. Use a food processor to mix this one up (everything but the cilantro and onion goes in there) and prepare for a delicious, spicy
concoction that you can pour over your favorite homemade Mexican-style dishes, from taco salads to fajitas.

1 ripe avocado
1 jalapeno pepper stemmed and quartered
1 cup water
1 T white vinegar
3/4 teas. salt
2 T minced fresh cilantro
2 T diced onion

1. Combine the avocado, jalapeno, water, vinegar, and salt in a food processor. Puree the mixture for several seconds on high speed, or until the jalapeno is finely minced.

2. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in the cilantro and onion. Cover and chill the salsa until you are ready to serve it.

MAKES 1½ CUPS.
