Achiote Paste is a traditional Mexican rub that can be used to flavor meat. Achiote (also called annatto) is a redish-orange powder that is ground from the seeds of the achiote plant. Achiote has a mild, nutty, sweet flavor, with a slight taste of pepper. Achiote paste can be made by mixing achiote powder with other ingredients.
