Instructions

  1. 1
    Prepare cannabis olive oil: Infuse extra virgin olive oil with cannabis butter for 20 minutes at 60°C (140°F), strain, and cool.
  2. 2
    Roughly chop jalapeños and garlic.
  3. 3
    Add all ingredients to a blender: avocados, jalapeños, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, cannabis olive oil, water.
  4. 4
    Blend smooth. For thinner consistency add more ice water — El Pollo Loco salsa is pourable, not guacamole spread.
  5. 5
    Season with salt, cumin, and sugar.
  6. 6
    Pour into a bottle or bowl. Cover surface with plastic wrap (prevents oxidation).
  7. 7
    Chill for at least 30 minutes. Keeps 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

Pro Tips

  • Ice-cold water is the trick for the characteristically bright, non-oxidized color. Cannabis olive oil instead of cannabis butter makes the salsa vegan and lighter.
