Recipe View Drizzle generously with the green chile cilantro sauce. Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup of cilantro and the chopped avocados. Serve immediately. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the raw cashews before blending them into the sauce. This will add a nutty depth to the dish.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper to your preference. If you're sensitive to spice, start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
Feel free to customize the bowl with your favorite toppings! Corn, tomatoes, or a sprinkle of vegan cheese would all be delicious additions.
The green chile cilantro sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
