Annato/ Achiote Red Recado, Corn Tortilla, Nixtamal & Orange Walk Tacos

Peel and dry annato in the sun for a month.

Grind the annato with spices and herbs using cornmeal, not a food processor.

Grind the mixture three times to achieve a paste-like consistency.

Add vinegar for preservation and moisture during grinding.

Taste the mixture and adjust salt as needed for flavor enhancement.

Prepare corn tortillas using 2 pounds of corn and lime stone, soaking overnight before cooking.

Boil the soaked corn for 30 minutes to avoid overcooking.
