desertcart.com : El Mexicano Achiote Paste (Red, 3.5 oz)(Pack 1) : Chile Pastes : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Very good traditional Mexican / Central American seasoning - We learned about this in Central America when we lived there in the 1980's We have used it in dishes of a wide variety every since. We were very happy to find it on desertcart because we have relocated to an area where these type of things are not found in the grocery markets locally. This is the same brand we were used to when living in Mexico and Central America. When the dish you desire and are trying to prepare calls for this seasoning, and you don't have it, it is either make it yourself if you can or forget the delicious food you were longing for! So, Thanks for making it available!
Review: Really tasty achiote paste - Really tasty achiote paste. I love using this as a shortcut for marinating stuff like chicken or pork shoulder. Add a little fresh garlic, fresh and dried peppers to your liking, some OJ or lime juice and a little olive oil. Plop it all in a blender or food processor and you've got a great marinade in 5 minutes.
