Blend the poblanos, cilantro, parsley and garlic with a cup of water until smooth.

Pour the green liquid into a measuring cup and add enough water to complete 3 cups, ensuring not to count the foam as part of the liquid.

Wash the rice thoroughly inside a sieve until the water runs clear.

Heat some avocado oil in a pan and add the drained rice, frying it while mixing constantly until it is dry and changes color slightly.

Add the green liquid and season with salt to taste.

Bring the liquid to a rolling boil, cover the pot, reduce the heat and cook on low for 20 minutes.

Check the rice; if done, remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
