If I was close to you I'd volunteer to bring a couple of sides and help you eat that.

Is that 4 tablespoon salt?

I ended up putting in 2. I salt sensitive. I broke my hot sauce bottle putting back in fridge. What a mess. At least it was after. I looked at Fiesta Mart for some and did not have. Not sure where I got that bottle but need another. It one of my favorites. I threw couple Habanero's in for good measure. They had fresh banana leaves but where in 4 lb packages so decided just to use the frozen I had. Wish I would of got fresh now.

How did this go Brian? I’m making this marinade tomorrow? It’s been a bit I suppose! Also curious, I haven’t seen chilerelleno post in a bit, but this recipe calls for “3/4C Achiote powder” that’s a lot more than other recipes I’ve seen. Is it really 3/4 Cup or was that a typo? Other recipes call for Achiote paste too, not sure why the paste over the powder? I appreciate it!

Turned out really good. My friends loved it. I think I pretty much followed recipe. I do make judgment calls when making things. Normally I look at several recipes and kind of combine what I like about each one.

1.5C Sour Orange juice*

(*To mimic Sour Oranges for this or other Mexican recipes such as Carnitas or Carne asada, just mix equal parts Grapefruit juice, Orange juice, Lime juice and Vinegar.)

Be careful when eating/drinking/using grapefruit and grapefruit juice. Grapefruit does not mix well with a lot of meds, especially heart/blood pressure meds. Sometimes it intensifies the med and sometimes it reduces the effects.
