Best paste for that Mexican flavor
When I went to Cancun for vacation the flavor of the meats and poultry had this distinct flavor that I truly enjoyed. When I came home I researched to find the flavor so I could make it at home. This is it and it gives great flavor to Steak and chicken. You don't need the entire package to marinade your food. I add lemon juice, salt and olive oil - Mix and maybe half or a quarter of the spice...and your food will have an authentic Yucatan flavor. Mild and not overbearing !!

perfect for porc taco!
I love this spice mix for my pork tacos: line a crockpot with banana leaves, pop in a pork shoulder (skin removed), pour over 100g Yucateco anchiote mixed with 1/2 cup lime juice and a sliced onion. Cook on high for 6 hours, turn to low til ready to use. Pull meat off into corn tortillas with a bit of the sauce (which can be thickened with yucca) and pickled cabbage-- YUM! I reuse old jars (jam, pickle, mayonnaise)to store the unused spice.
