Green Taquito Sauce Recipes
CIELITO LINDO'S AVOCADO SAUCE RECIPE
It's hard to walk through Los Angeles' Olvera Street without making a stop at Cielito Lindo. The restaurant, one of the oldest in the city, has been serving its famous crunchy taquitos since 1934, doused in a thin but spicy avocado sauce. Reader Jim Toomey from Reseda has been enjoying the taquitos for more than 40 years. "I have, on several occasions, attempted to replicate their sauce with little success," he writes. "Please help! How do they do it?"The sauce is a combination of fresh yellow chiles, garlic, tomatillos and cilantro, simmered for a few minutes until softened, then blended with avocado. It's the perfect accompaniment for taquitos and tacos. Cielito Lindo was happy to share its recipe. Enjoy this flavorful little piece of L.A. history, Jim.

Steps:
- In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the water, chiles, garlic, tomatillos and cilantro. Bring the mixture to a simmer, loosely cover, and cook until the chiles and tomatillos are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Drain, reserving the water, and place the ingredients into a blender. Add the avocado and salt. Carefully blend at low speed, adding water as needed, until the mixture is pureed to form a thin sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired. The sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, up to one week.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Shred chicken to make about 4 cups; discard bones and skin. In large bowl, toss chicken, cheese, onion, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, oregano and green chiles.
- Over gas burner or in skillet, heat tortillas until warm and pliable. Wrap tortillas in kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Working with 1 tortilla at a time, spoon about 2 tablespoons chicken mixture onto one side of tortilla. Wrap tortilla over filling and roll up. Place taquito seam side down on cookie sheet, gently pressing flat with palm of hand if needed to make sure taquito does not roll around. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, making sure to leave a bit of space between taquitos so they crisp nicely during baking. Brush tops of taquitos lightly with oil.
- Bake in center of oven 25 minutes, rotating pan once about halfway through baking.
- Meanwhile, cut avocado in half; remove pit. With spoon, scoop avocado flesh from shell into large bowl. With back of fork, mash avocado well. Fold in yogurt, lime juice and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Serve warm taquitos with dip.
