Achiote, also known as Recado Rojo, can be found in various Central American cuisines. This spice and chile blend gets its vibrant red color from ground annatto seeds with a flavor profile of warm and fragrant spices and Mexican chiles.
Achiote can be used as a rub, marinade (just add some oil), or all-purpose seasoning. Achiote is perfect on chicken, pork, roasted vegetables, rice, soups, and stews.
