El Yucateco Achiote Paste 3.5 OZ (Pack of 3)

This is not spicy, you use to marinate chicken and pork before cooking...try mixing chopped garlic and onions and add a little water and rub it all over a whole chicken.....then cover and leave in the fridge and next day pop into the oven......I really like this item and I reorder....

I use this product frequently as part of the recipe for chipotle puree which is a staple in my kitchen, used in so many other recipes. I much appreciate that I can buy this powder/paste which is an essential ingredient, along with canned chipotles in adobo, in the making of the irresistible condiment.

I got this ingredient recommendations from a local Mexican Restaurant. It's their key secret ingredient for chicken and wonderful pulled tacos. Its all natural. Has 0 food dyes. The color comes from the Annatto seed. Great earthy Mexican flavors. I add OJ, apple cider vinegar, salt,pepper, and a little granulated garlic. Put in food processor to create a liquid. Pour over meat. Marinade at least 8 hours. Better over night.

probably used 8 or 10 packages of this in the past year...mix in a blender with other spices eg minced garlic,oregano, cumin, chopped onion etc ...put in dutch oven over pork or chicken and bake......makes great soups ,sandwiches or tacos

Good product.

Was hesitant to buy on Amazon and was especially hesitant after reading some reviews stating the product was expired or damaged in some wat. I ordered anyway (3-pack) and received brand-new, unopened, fresh, non-expired product and my recipe turned out great. Whew! Yay me.

Excelente 👌 👌

The product came in three small individually packaged blocks of paste. I created a marinade made with orange juice & fresh squeezed lime & then tried to add the paste by using a potable mixer. I should have used a blender or a food processor to more thoroughly mix those two ingredients. I ended up using my fingers & hand to massage the pork ribs & chicken wings with the clumps of paste & liquid. I used a dry rub on the ribs, plus a small amount of seasoned salt, thyme, crushed red pepper, garlic, onion, etc. I used a similar concoction with the chicken, save & except I left off the rub. I poured the remaining liquid over the ribs & chicken & marinaded them overnight in the refrigerator in separate containers. The taste of both meats was extraordinary. Both tasted like the food we get from the local Chicken Pollo restaurant. I only used 2/3 of one packet. I placed the block of unused paste in the refrigerator. The combination of the red coloring in the paste & the sugars in the orange juice produced a charred appearance.
