Believe me I turned meat into mush quite a few times until I learned that you can't marinate it overninght. I don't go over 4 hours max. Give it a shot again but cut down on marination time.

I'm a big fan of El Pollo Loco unfortunately my "Better Half" does not share my enthusiasm. I do believe you nailed it Sako.

That looks fantastic, brother! I'm looking forward to trying this; do you think you'll be posting your revised marinade? I've never been to El Pollo Loco, but if it's good enough for you to hack, I'm in!

Surprised because they're one of the few half decent fast food joints. Sorry Mart!

Thanks fantom!
I hot hooked on these tortillas when I was visiting my bro in New Orleans and he made some carnitas tacos with cassava flour tortillas. He's got ulcerative colitis and one of the many things he can't have is carbs so he's beeing using cassava (Yuca) flour. I've grown to really liking the way they taste and great substitute for regular tortillas. You eat a ton and you don't get bloated since it's sort of root vegetable flour. Here's what I bought off of Amazon but apparently there are better ones out there. I guess the key for great cassava flour is no grittiness. Still playing around but this is the recipe I used: 2 to 2.5 cups cassava flour About 1tsp salt 1tsp baking soda 1 cup coconut milk (in a can) 1/4 cup oil, melter butter or ghee 1/2 to 1 cup water Now I mostly eyeballed since cassava flours differ and some require more hydration than others. Basically you're looking for pliable, ice cream-ish consistency. Hope this pic helps

Thanks Chris! Apparently they used yellow food coloring but I used turmeric and saffron to get the yellow color. See below. Still need tweaking the recipe to dial it in but for about 3-4 lbs of chicken I used 3/8 cup rice vinegar (any vinegar will work I prefer rice as it's mellow) 1/4 cup lime juice 3/4 cup pineapple juice (ones in the cartons from Mexico is what I used JUMEX brand) 6 cloves of minced garlic A few pinches of saffron (for color) 2 tsp turmeric (for color) 1/2 tsp chile powder 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp allspice 1/4 tsp cayenne 1/4 tsp cloves 1/4 tsp coriander 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper A few juniper berries (I had some laying around so used them ) I used ziploc bags and marinated about 4-5 hours and grilled them. That's it!

I really like the Otto's brand cassava flour -- haven't tried the brand you're using yet.

not sure about other areas of the country, but here is AZ and northern Mexico, the green salsa at most taco and pollo stands is tomatillo based, not avacado.

Thanks Boss! I was but I went the more natural route with saffron and turmeric.
