El Yucateco Paste Achiote, 3.5 oz

Delish! Bought this for a new chicken thigh recipe that turned out to be wonderful. My grocery stores do not carry this product. Amazon to the rescue!

Good product.

Made El Pastor and Yucateco paste is a key ingredient. Item as described and will but again

It was a lot smaller than expected

This paste is wonderful in so many different foods. I combine it with lemon and rub it on a roast chicken or baked cut up chicken or on a thanksgiving turkey. I combine it with chipotle peppers with some adobo sauce and spread it on thinly sliced pork for a few hours then grill it for tacos al pastor along with grilled thinly sliced red onions and sliced grilled pineapple. I use it as part of the seasonings for the chicken that goes in tamales. I use it for about a dozen other recipes. This stuff is amazing and brings life to so many dishes.This spice blend originates in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico (according to my Mom) and is widely used in Mexican cooking. It was originally a Mayan condiment but has spread in use. It consists of Annatto seed along with a number of other spices. It is commonly also called Recado Rojo.Once opened, I store the leftover paste in the refrigerator for best results. That keeps it tasting fresh and helps keep it from drying out.

I like this and will reorder

Perfect for Al Pastor Tacos!

Ok but I like the el Mexicano better just my opinion
