Hola Hola!
How are you today?
I am so excited to be sharing a recipe for grilled citrus achiote chicken tacos! I was really bummed when everything started shutting down because it meant I wouldn’t get to be traveling to Mexico this year. The beautiful thing about food though, is that different flavors and ingredients can instantly transport you to other places around the world with just one bite!
Since I can’t fly to Cancun this year, this recipe is bringing me a little comfort with all of the flavors that remind me of the Yucatan peninsula. When I think of that area in Mexico, my mind immediately goes to achiote and sour orange. If you’re not familiar with achiote, it is essentially a paste made by grinding annatto seeds along with various other spices—it’s what gives al pastor its bright red hue!
